Traffic/Zoning Update -
- Three intersections involved; Briarcliff/Clifton, Briarcliff/LaVista, and Briarcliff/NDruidHills. Proposed plans displayed on each. Please check out our website to see the proposed intersection changes.

- Our Board requested Sidewalks from the county on Woodland Hills Drive/Woodland Ave. County did an impact study and deemed need for sidewalks as High priority 2 on a scale of 1 to 3. 3 being the lowest. Revisited after the first of the year, and if request granted, installation within the next 28 months
- Board requested crosswalks on Lavista at Woodland Hills. County not yet responded to request.
- Board requested 4-way stop sign at Vista Trail and Woodland Hills….request denied, County says that volume is high enough on Woodland Hills Drive to consider a 4-way stop sign but volume not high enough on Vista Trail.
- Board may consider requesting 3-way stop at Shepards Lane and BriarVista to further calm traffic for the residents of Shepherds Lane
- Board to consider requesting the county for specific “cut through” hours on Shepards Lane. Something along the lines of no thru traffic from 8pm to 8am.

2020 Lenox Road Power Substation Update -
- GaPower substation definitely being built at 2020 and 2010 Lenox Rd. and they are trying to purchase 2004 Lenox Rd.

Potential benefit might be GaPower installing sidewalks on Lenox to Woodland Ave.
