Decatur Awarded $2.1 Million for C-Streets Ped/Biking Improvements
Decatur Metro | November 15, 2011Thomas Wheatley – famed trustafarian of the “wheat” family dynasty – reports on Fresh Loaf that the Atlanta Regional Commission has announced a new round of grant-recipients for the Livable Centers Initiative. Along with a $4 million grant for the Beltline to build a ramp that connects with Ponce (near Ponce City Market aka City Hall East aka the old Sears Warehouse) is a $2.1 million grant for the City of Decatur towards our Clairemont/Commerce/Church Street pedestrian and biking improvements. According to the Amber Waves of Wheatley, the grants require a local match.
Other area recipients include: Doraville, New Peachtree Bike and Pedestrian Improvements ($2.3 million), Midtown Atlanta, Juniper Street Bike and Pedestrian Facilities ($3.4 million) DeKalb County, Lake Hearn Drive, Perimeter Summit Parkway, Parkside Place Bike and Pedestrian Facilities ($3.1 million), DeKalb, Tucker Streetscape, ($960,000).
What’s a $2.1 million grant mean for the timeline of this Decatur project? Guess I’ll just have to ask the city!

Is this his stripper name?
$2.1 million plus a match seems like a pile of loot. Is there a cost estimate from the city I missed somehow? Probably by not paying attention?
The stripper name, using the formula of first pet and childhood street name, is…
Boxer Springdale.
I think Amber Waves of Wheatley will net you more stripper $$
Choo-choo Ocean.
Not so great–if I go for a slightly later pet and street, we’ve got
Snuggles Larrimer.
Much better!

Snowball Greylock.
Victorian kitty detective?
Snowball Second.
Seriously!
Happy Flintlock
Pugsley Burchard
Thomasina Sawross. *sigh* Just my luck to get a moniker that sounds like the name of a 19th-century prairie school teacher, instead of a proper stripper…
“Lady Hillcrest”
Has all you need, I’d say.
Lady was, sadly, first hit by car then simply vanished. Not all at once.
Hmmm that leaves me with either
Goldie 6th Ave
or
Dutchess 6th Ave
Seamus O’Wheatley’s decision to become Ireland’s first grain tycoon many generations ago allows me to be a journalist today. All hail Seamus!
