Atlanta Public Schools to Host End-of-School-Year Virtual Town Hall on Facebook Live, Tuesday at Noon

District leaders to answer questions and provide updates.

Atlanta Public Schools (APS) will host a live, end-of-school year virtual town hall on Facebook Live, Tuesday, May 26, at noon. It is an opportunity for students, parents, staff and community members to ask questions, share feedback, and get updates on the latest APS information as the District prepares to wrap up the school year.
The virtual town hall will feature a live question and answer session with viewers tuned into the event on computers or mobile devices at www.facebook.com/AtlantaPublicSchools.

BetlLine projects continue to move forward, including smaller, trail-related projects.

Adjacent to the Eastside Trail, the Gateway Trail serves as a connection to Historic Fourth Ward Park. This connection will be closed and rebuilt as part of the redevelopment of the Georgia Power site by New City Properties. The closure will take place in the next few weeks. At that time, construction fencing will be installed, signs will be posted along the trail and we’ll add updates to our website to keep you informed. Construction work could take up to a year, but the park will still be accessible from North Avenue. The new connection will include stairs with bicycle runnels and an elevator as seen below.

If you have any questions, please email engage@atlbeltline.org and stay tuned for additional updates.

The city is pleased to alert you to the impending start of the Glenwood-Moreland Intersection Improvement project in your districts within the next 30 days (weather permitting).

The project proposes to realign the Glenwood-Moreland intersection and to eliminate the existing 70-foot offset. In addition, the project will include the restriping of Glenwood Avenue to accommodate a left turn lane for the eastern (westbound movement) leg and shared-use bicycle lane connectivity.

Notices for the following project are being sent to the constituents in your districts:

• Moreland Avenue SE from Metropolitan Avenue SE to Portland Avenue SE  and  Glenwood Avenue SE from Brownwood Avenue SE to Florida Avenue SE

For more information on this project, your constituents can email: ATLDOT@atlantaga.gov or call: 404-330-6165. View photos and track project progress on the Atlanta Department of Transportation (ATLDOT) Twitter feed @ATLDOT, the ATLDOT Facebook page, Instagram channel @ATL.DOT, and the Renew Atlanta-TSPLOST website at http://RenewAtlantaBond.com.
