Kevin Heights Neighborhood Exploratory Beltline Ride / CleanUp

By C. Henry Adams


Following the March 2015 Atlanta NPU-I Meeting at Adamsville Recreational Center located off MLK Jr. Drive, the focus of attention in the Kevin Heights Neighborhood was building responsibility within the Youth living there and perhaps the Community as a whole.  Being responsible for one's actions in Life could lead to creating a Good Value System in a person.  Possessing a Value System in Life, perhaps could suggest that you care for others, as well as, yourself.  Thus, Good Ethics plays a role in this proverbial picture.

Therefore, the idea to give kids bicycles (limited supply, on a first come, first serve basis) while training them to be responsible in the neighborhood could help to keep the area clean.  Studies have suggest that if a Community practice Good Policing, it could possibly lower or resolve issues that cause crime.

Recently, a Non-Profit Organization called, " Urban Creek Conservation and Recreation Corps
" received a donation of bicycles from a private donor.

The President of " Urban Creek Conservation and Recreation Corps " happens to be a recently Retired School Teacher and the President of the Kevin Heights Neighborhood Association.

Through his collaboration with Homeowners, Small Business Owners and City Leaders, the " Kevin Heights Neighborhood Exploratory Beltline Ride / CleanUp was established

The event will be held on Saturday, April 11th 2015 starting at 9:30 am and ending promptly at 5:30 pm.

An Agenda set forth for the event suggests the clean up of the Neighborhood Streets (parts of Linkwood Rd, Tribble Lane, Hermer Circle and Kevin Court), a trip to Historic 4th Ward of the City of Atlanta where the bike ride will start, then culminate into a 'Spring Break Picnic' in Piedmont Park.

Stop The Gun Violence In West (NW/SW) Atlanta - Multiple Shootings In Delmar Lane Area

by C. Henry Adams

Today, March 14th 2015, five (5) People were shot in the Delmar Lane Area.  Enough is enough, we want to live in a peaceful environment.  Hearing constant gun fire, having Children experience and grow up in this Community ( Collier Heights / Adamsville ) where there are people being shot is not the answer.  

We need to call a meeting with City Councilman CT Martin, the APD Chief, Zone 1 Major, NPU I Leader,   all Neighborhood Leaders, all Homeowners and Renters fed up with this violence.  We must stay together to stop this criminal activity or we will surely be divided when People of a Criminal Nature tear us apart.
