The AJC reports that the city is now actively recruiting people for its newest advisory panel: the Active Living Advisory Board.  The article states that they’re looking for people with backgrounds in “fitness, healthy living concepts, seniors and healthy aging, bicycling, walking, athletics, parks, recreation, gardening and other active pursuits.”

It might be a productive strategy to send out recruiters before dawn to canvas the streets when all the runners are out and about!

Two folks have recently written in asking about what’s with all the trucks/equipment in the Ponce/Scott triangle. 

Well, having been a victim of redirection in the late night hours, I actually have an answer! 

Its all DOT equipment being used to resurface Scott Boulevard in the overnight hours.  A letter from the DOT on the city’s website also talks about repaving Ponce from Moreland to N Druid too.  I wonder if that’s a separate project, or if they just over-generalized and just called Scott from Ponce to N. Druid, “Ponce”.  Because correct me if I’m wrong…Scott is the only state route inside the city limits.

I’m surprised that the DOT can just up and park there too, but maybe its their property or somethin’.
