Dunwoody Completes 5th Mile of Sidewalk Paving

For Immediate Release from the City of Dunwoody:

The City of Dunwoody celebrates another infrastructure and paving milestone with the completion of the city’s 5th mile of sidewalk paving. The city will host a commemoration and ribbon cutting event on Thursday, November 7 at 10:00 a.m. at the corner of West Fontainebleau Court and Happy Hollow Road in Dunwoody to observe the sidewalk paving landmark.

Work continues on several critical sidewalk projects as part of the city’s sidewalk improvement plan created to provide an objective process to prioritize the city’s sidewalk projects. The city has identified over 21 miles of future sidewalk improvements and 87 future ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps.

Following the completion of this year’s sidewalk construction, the City will have invested nearly $1,000,000 and completed roughly 5.4 miles of new sidewalk infrastructure since 2009, making Dunwoody a safer, healthier, and more enjoyable community for all. This has been accomplished in a relatively short timeframe with no tax increases and no need to borrow money.

The city continues its commitment to maintain and improve its roads by investing over $2,000,000 in paving this year which is more than 40 percent of the city’s entire 2013 capital budget. Since 2009, including this year’s investments, the city has spent more than $6,500,000 paving the city’s estimated 306 total lane miles of roads in Dunwoody.

And constituents thank Doug Thompson for his dedication in making this happen!

Endorsements are Piling up!

I'm Just Sayin'

For District 3 - Doug Thompson - like Deny, I've not always agreed with Doug's decisions on a few votes.  However, I respect Doug's consistent approach to examining each issue, his knowledge of governmental operations and law, as well as his ability to remove emotion from the process and judge each issue on its' merits.

 Doug is another one who actually considers the opinion of constituents who approach him with a question or a problem.  God knows, he's had to deal with me in his face more than once if I didn't understand a decision or had a concern that I wanted considered.  (Better in person than here on the blog, right Doug?)  Doug (along with Heyward) was one who took the time to answer the questions I posted as the campaign began.  He is also the one who proposed tax cuts for the citizenry as the city began to operate with a surplus.  In District 3, Doug's seat isn't broken.  There isn't a need to fix it. 

From Sam Portis

I am usually the kind of guy that will not voice my opinion unless asked, and believe it is better to let your actions speak for your words, I was fortunate to learn this from an early age from my Father. But I think this is just too important to let pass, I must speak up, I am passionate about this city and would ask you to just look at one thing at the upcoming election.

I go back to what my father taught me, make every action count and let those actions speak for you, have respect and honor for others, be truthful, be positive and treat others as you would want to be treated. With that said I look at these two candidates for council (Heyward Westcott and Doug Thompson), These two men have given countless hours of their time back to their community in more ways than you can imagine, they have done it with respect and honor, truthfulness, and a positive attitude, and treated others in a manner they would want to be treated. They showed that in the past few months in their campaigns and their past history shows it. So please, dig deep and look at all the candidates and you will see who is best for Dunwoody.
