Help Fix the Parking Problem in Poncey-Highland

The Poncey-Highland Neighborhood Association is looking for volunteers to help assess existing parking in the area to help the neighborhood develop a plan.

 

It's no secret that parking in the Poncey-Highland area can be frustrating. Like many Intown Atlanta communities, there just don't seem to be enough spaces, or not enough spaces close enough to the place you're visiting.

The Poncey-Highland Neighborhood Association wants to help find a solution, and you can help. Here's a release that the neighborhood association has shared with the community:

In response to feedback we have received about parking concerns in
Poncey-Highland, the Poncey Highland Neighborhood Association (PHNA) is beginning a process that will assess the current parking situation, engage residents and businesses in identifying ways to better manage our parking resources, and take the necessary steps to implement solutions that are supported by PHNA members.

The first step in this process is to inventory the parking spaces that
currently exist in the neighborhood.  If you would like to be a part
of the solution to improving parking in Poncey-Highland, this is your
chance.  Volunteers are needed to go out in pairs and count the number and types of on-street parking spaces and lots in the neighborhood. We will provide instruction, provide all supplies, and have sheets for you to fill out.

In addition to helping the neighborhood, this will also be a great way
to get to know some of your neighbors.  We will meet at Manuel’s
Tavern at 1:30 pm on Saturday, March 30th.  While the amount of time this takes will depend on the number of volunteers we get, we do not expect it to take more than a couple hours.  When everyone finishes, we’ll reconvene at Manuel’s where you can socialize, imbibe, and catch some of the NCAA tournament.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Rob Brawner at
rbrawner@mindspring.com.  Thank you for your support!
