Recently, 20 residents of the Dunwoody Manor neighborhood joined Councilmember Eric Christ, who represents District 2 of the City of Peachtree Corners, to celebrate the installation of several improvements along Jay Bird Alley between Peachtree Corners Circle and Corners Way.

This Public Works project included five new high-powered streetlights installed by Georgia Power to improve pedestrian safety and hedges planted in the right of way by the City of Peachtree Corners to increase driver awareness of the edge of the road (there is no curb along that section of Jay Bird Alley.)

Cutting the ribbon was Susan Albright, the long-time president of the Dunwoody Manor HOA, who first contacted Councilmember Christ about the outdated and underpowered streetlights and a recurring issue with cars running off the road.

"These new streetlights are a great improvement to the City sidewalk network," said Councilmember Christ, "and the hedges have already dramatically reduced the incidence of unwary drivers leaving the road."
