From previous communications below, the third week is trimmings, but calendar shows third week is recycling.

The City of Atlanta and the Policing Alternatives & Diversion Initiative (PAD) have partnered together to bring you PAD ATL311 Community Referral Services. You can now make referrals to ATL311 for non-emergency quality of life concerns related to mental health, substance use or extreme poverty. PAD will respond to the referral request and offer individuals short-term care navigation, stabilizing supports, and warm referrals to other service providers.

PAD 311 Community Referral Services is currently available in Atlanta Police Department Zones 5 and 6, Monday-Friday7am-7pm. Over the subsequent months, more APD zones will be added, with the goal of being citywide this summer. https://bit.ly/3ryv37k

The Atlanta BeltLine began as a bold idea more than 20 years ago—a way to connect neighborhoods across Atlanta and create more mobility and opportunity for everyone in our city. Currently, the project requires a new mechanism for generating the necessary funds to meet its targeted delivery by 2030.

Legislation to create a Special Service District (SSD) within the Atlanta BeltLine Planning Area was introduced at the Atlanta City Council meeting on Jan. 19. This new revenue source would ensure completion of the 22-mile loop of mainline, multi-use trail and stimulate jobs and economic recovery. Residents living in single-family homes would not be a part of the district.

Finishing the corridor with this critical funding will

• Create 50,000 permanent jobs
• Ensure the goal of 5,600 affordable homes is reached
• Deliver the project’s economic impact of $10 billion
• Allow for $7 million in additional small business support
• Provide the opportunity for $150 million in construction funding for minority-owned businesses

Learn more about how BeltLine communities will benefit from the additional funds at beltline.org/ssd2021 and find answers to frequently asked questions. You also can attend one of our community meetings.
