Chris was good enough to send along this lovely photo of last night’s sunset.  Thanks Chris!

From The Decatur Minute…

The repaving of Ansley St. started on Monday, and as sometimes happens, an unexpected water leak issue developed. The city is currently working with DeKalb County to replace and upgrade the water system underneath Ansley St. before finishing the repaving process.

The good news is this means once everything is complete Ansley St. will have a new, smooth surface AND an upgraded water system. The only downside is Ansley St. will be torn up for a bit longer than anticipated. Once an updated work schedule is finalized we will share it here on this blog.

After AT&T announced yesterday that they’ll be offering a new “super fast” internet option in Atlanta and Decatur yesterday, we followed up with the City of Decatur to see where we were with finding out whether Google Fiber will be making a decision of whether they will break ground in Georgia.  Here’s the response I received from the City’s Lena Stevens…

The City continues to be in communication with Google about the potential expansion of their fiber network, but their decision timeline has not changed.  They will announce their plans by the end of December 2014.  For now, we are working with them to answer clarifying questions about our existing processes for things like permitting and communications.

As a reminder, Decatur’s response to the Google Fiber Cities Checklist is online- http://www.decaturga.com/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=4994
