In July, NBCA's Traffic Committee met for the first time. Attendees, many of whom have traffic-related work experience, included Kay Beynart, Howard Carson, Gordon Certain, Vivian DuBose, Chris Fellows, Jeffrey Folinus, Geoffrey Kridel, Waldtraut "Walda" Lavroff, Bob Shuster, and Bernie Stills. Vivian and Jeffrey will be the committee's co-chairs.
The committee hopes to set realistic 18 month objectives and intends to end up with results rather than a notebook full of plans. The consensus was a traffic plan was needed: traffic changes on one street may exacerbate traffic on another. For example, speed humps were recently installed on N Ivy Rd.; now N Stratford Rd. residents report increased traffic on their street.
[Another concern is that plans for the Lenox/Phipps/MARTA area include over 20,000 new parking spaces which will no doubt have a big impact on our traffic.
If you have comments for this committee, write NBCA at P.O. Box 420391, Atlanta, GA 30342 or email us at
gcertain@nbca.org. The Traffic Committee meets on the last Monday of the month in Room 106 of St James United Methodist Church. The public is invited.
