Clairmont Heights Civic Association

From Druid Hills Civic Association: "John Kelley, Area Manager for Georgia Power's Metro East Region has informed the DHCA of the plan to begin working on the Emory Village Project on June 15, 2009. All work will be done in the evening, between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Working during the evening and night hours will offer the workers a safer, less traffic environment and would allow the completion of the project in less time, (projected 8 weeks as opposed to 12 weeks). The plan involves burying power lines in the Village, which will remove unsightly utility wires and wooden poles in the commercial district. After the power lines are buried, DeKalb County will begin work on the Village roadwork and roundabout."

From the Alliance to Improve Emory Village: DeKalb County has completed its replacement of water lines in Emory Village. The second phase of roadwork in the Village will begin in June when Georgia Power starts to build a duct bank beneath the roadway in order to bury power, phone and television cables. This second phase of utility work will extend at least into the fall.

It was announced yesterday that Emory has had to close the community recycling station behind the CVS in Emory Village because of budget cuts. It was also announced that the BP station in Emory Village has been sold (not to Emory) and will close as of June 1. The county's water line replacement project in Emory Village is complete. Georgia Power will now begin the process of burying overhead utilities, including electricity, cable TV, and telephone. This phase is expected to begin in June and extend into fall, perhaps through the end of the calendar year. The work is scheduled to take place mainly between 8pm and 5am, but will nonetheless be disruptive for traffic. DeKalb County has gone to bid for construction of the roundabout, with an anticipated start date in August, and a one year duration. Updates on Construction Projects

Addressed to Emory faculty and staff from the Emory University Human Resources and Office of Critical Event Preparedness and Response (CEPAR)... A number of H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) cases have now been confirmed by the CDC in the Atlanta Metropolitan area. The cases, located in Cobb, DeKalb and Henry Counties, are where many of our staff and faculty reside; where their children go to school; where their families are woven into the social fabric of their community.
