This petition is to show your support for the creation of a Dog Park in Candler Park. Whether or not you are a dog owner. If you are a friend of dogs and feel this is a much needed amenity in Candler Park and the city of Atlanta, please show your support and sign our petition!

*** UPDATE *** The dog has been reunited with its owner! Thanks to Patrick for creating a happy ending for the pup and his person.

Submitted by Patrick Busko:

I was in Candler Park last night for the movie fest and found a boxer with no collar or tags.  He is a super sweet dog and well taken care of, obviously someone's pet.  He looks to be a bit older with some grey hair on his face and back but he is primarily reddish brown.

The owner can call me:  Patrick Busko 404-901-8765

I can send pics too

Our NPU (neighborhood planning unit) met on September 22nd to discuss zoning, upcoming events, and other issues that impact our neighborhoods. As a reminder, the City of Atlanta is divided into twenty-five Neighborhood Planning Units or NPUs, which are citizen advisory councils that make recommendations to the Mayor and City Council on zoning, land use, and other planning issues (as described by the City). We are in NPU-N along with Lake Claire, Reynoldstown, Inman Park, Poncey-Highlands, Druid Hills, and Cabbagetown.

The NPU received visitors from various city departments. The Police Department said that 100 new officers will be hired this year and they are actively looking for recruits. The Fire Department reported that the entire fleet of trucks will be replaced in the next few years. Both Parks and Code Compliance talked about graffitti; the City has a dedicated police officer and the Parks department has set up a hotline at 404.546.4288. Apparently our part of the city has the most graffitti.

There were no Candler Park zoning or liquor license matters on the NPU agenda this month. The NPU did vote to recommend the application for the Clips of Faith Beer & Film Tour in Candler Park on September 30th. The CPNO also introduced our proposed process for vetting events that take place in our neighborhood.
