The annexation requests keep rolling in.

There are two new annexation requests on the Decatur City Commission’s agenda for this evening.

The first is a partial parcel annexation in the Parkwood neighborhood.  The second is an annexation request for seven parcels along Conway Road, including the Waldorf School at 1151 Conway Road.

Also of note, annexation-wise, it looks like the Decatur Planning Commission is scheduled to take up the larger scale annexation request of the Parkwood neighborhood at their next meeting on Tuesday, April 8th.  Their agenda is included in tonight’s Decatur City Commission meeting packet.

UPDATE: The City’s Katie Abel tells us that it was actually filming of CW’s “The Originals” on Church Street yesterday, not Vampire Diaries as first reported.

Bill sends in this photo from along Church Street in Decatur of more Vampire Diaries filming taking place this morning.  Bill writes…

Trucks were marked Bonanza Productions and there were actors playing FBI agents. Looked like a funeral scene.

Included in a report from Decaturish late last week – about the North McDonough Streetscape Improvements and how it relates to renovating Decatur High Schoo – was this nugget…

The streetscape project will begin in June of 2015 and will last for 12 months. The city will shrink the road from four lanes to two in order to make it friendlier for bicyclists and pedestrians.

Upon request, Deputy City Manager Hugh Saxon provided DM with a digital version (PDF) of the most recent streetscape plan so that everyone can get a closer look what North McDonough will eventually look like once the project is completed.
