SUBDIVISION AT I-75 ENTRANCE RAMP
The preliminary plan for the subdivision posted across the street from the I-75 ramps can be found
here. The entry to this subdivision will be from W. Wesley and it will not go through to Moores Mill. The existing house next to I-75 is on a 400ft+ deep lot. That lot will be reduced to the minimum R-3 size of 18,000 sq ft by reducing the rear yard depth. This lot will still have a driveway on Moores Mill. On the W.Wesley side, the two lots adjacent to I-75 will form the entrance to a 9 lot cul de sac.So the total project adds 7 lots, all on the W.Wesley side. The plan also calls for what looks like a community swimming pool on W.Wesley but has no details about how that will work.
SCHOOL BUS SAFETY INITIATIVE
APS has partnered with American Traffic Solutions to address the problem of illegal passing of school buses that are stopped and boarding or disembarking children. All buses are now equipped with a camera that automatically detects a vehicle illegally passing in either direction and captures video and images of the violator's license plate.
The violation video and license plate images are reviewed by law enforcement for approval prior to a citation being issued through the court system.
There is a $300 fine for the first violation, a $750 fine for a second violation and a $1,000 fine for a third violation.

Our APD Security Service
Security is provided by off-duty Atlanta Police Department (APD) officers headed up by Lt. Jeff Baxter. The APD security service provides:
- Monday through Friday patrol three hours a day within our neighborhood with additional virtual coverage while patrolling in nearby neighborhoods. All member calls are answered by the officer patrolling with a cell phone.*
