City of South Fulton launches ‘community walk’

The city of South Fulton has launched Community Walk Wednesdays, a monthly activity focused on increasing access to city services, improved community relations and proactively addressing community issues, according to a press release.

The purpose of the first walk is to introduce the Cascade corridor to administrative leaders and identify key issues and concerns of the community. At the end of the walk, participants will listen to a roll call that lists issues or needs identified during the event. The city will publish a report shortly after the walk, that summarizes the problems, their status and what departments are responsible for resolution. The report will then be sent to each department or agency for follow up.

The Community Walk Wednesdays team will follow up with the identified agencies in a 30, 60, and 90-day check-in period and will then update the community at each checkpoint period or until all issues have been resolved.

“Every step we take as a city is a vital one. We are excited to launch this new initiative, increase our visibility in the community, and provide real time resolutions to current problems,” said City Manager Odie Donald II.

Other walk participants include community organizations, merchant organizations, administrative personnel and residential stakeholders including Home Owner Associations.
