We live right behind the school on Georgia and we see kids playing on that land, people walking their dogs on that land, adults playing soccer on that land, etc. We need some green space on this side of Georgia to breathe! Enough development already! So far 522 other people who live around the school feel the same way! They signed the petition for a neighborhood park instead of a townhouse development.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351119433699360596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-8494817807109936322007-07-25T12:46:00.000-04:002007-07-25T12:46:00.000-04:00Someone is claiming that lot on Georgia Ave is "de...Someone is claiming that lot on Georgia Ave is "de facto parkland"???? what a load of BS.

Just FYI, there will be another meeting on the College of Art + Design property on <A HREF="http://greenspaceongeorgia.org/node/26" REL="nofollow">Monday evening at 8PM</A> at the same Woodside UMC location. District 19 Delegate, Hank Heller and District 18 Delegate, Jeff Waldstreicher will be in attendance.<BR/><BR/>We need as large a turnout as possible to show support for our efforts.

A bus from the station to my location ran every 20 minutes, and if I had to work late- I would have to walk the two miles.<BR/><BR/> The Metro took 45 minutes to get work my car got me there in 15 minutes, and parking was free.
