Should festivals be returned to Piedmont Park?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The chairs of the Atlanta Track Club, Atlanta Pride and the Atlanta Dogwood Festival call for the City Council to immediately direct the Department of Parks and Recreation to lift the restrictions imposed for the 2008 festival season and readmit Class A festivals in city parks in 2009. Read entire op-ed piece.
They also urge: “A collaborative effort among the city, Piedmont Park, neighborhoods and Class A festivals to adopt definitive guidelines setting forth how our parks will be managed during various environmental conditions, based on industry-prescribed landscaping standards.”
What do you think? Should the festivals be returned to Piedmont Park?
