CHCA board members contacted the county this last week when it became apparent that a section of the new sidewalk had lost its underlay due to subsidence. The county got the contractor on the site within a couple days and they fixed it. They also, at CHCA request, removed some heavy pieces of debris which had been removed from Melton Park but had not been picked up by the county after the county clean up day.

Pending confirmation of county staff availability, a meeting has been scheduled with District 2 Commissioner Jeff Rader and DeKalb County Roads and Drainage Director John Gurbal, for May 22 at North Decatur Presbyterian Church to discuss traffic control(not traffic-calming) measures in the quadrant bounded by:
Clairmont Rd / N. Druid Hills Rd. / L'ville Hwy / N. Decatur Rd.

An Update on Traffic Calming Measures for Desmond Drive:

Approval has been received from Dekalb County for traffic calming measures to be put in place for Desmond Drive!!! The next step is to finalize the traffic calming plan. The area in consideration is the stretch on Desmond between Clairmont and Reckle Road consisting of 19 homes.

We have a problem with speeding in our neighborhood -- and it's not only cut-through commuters from outside the neighborhood. We have some long straight streets connecting busy arterial streets and that has tempted both commuters and residents to speed especially during rush hours. Traffic monitoring devices stationed on N Superior and on Desmond have clocked some vehicles exceeding 70 mph!
