• The city will concentrate on providing a usable travel lane in each direction on major streets and clearing sidewalks near MARTA stations.
• The city will work with City Schools of Decatur to make sure entrances, exits, and driveways at the schools are clear.
• Residents should expect to clear their driveways and sidewalks. It is unlikely that the city will be able to clear interior neighborhood residential streets.
• If you, or a neighbor, are a senior, someone with a medical need or someone with special needs, consider creating a safety profile at smart911.com. You can also contact Lifelong Community Coordinator Lee Ann Harvey, 770-652-8593, to be placed on the home checklist maintained by the Police Department.
Stay tuned to thedecaturminute.com blog, Downtown Decatur on Facebook, and the city’s website for information about facilities closures. For more winter weather tips and tools, check out page 10 of the January-February 2016 edition of the Decatur Focus.

The Georgia Municipal Association is encouraging cities across the state to celebrate Georgia Cities Week April 13 – 19. Decatur honors this week’s theme of “People, Place and Purpose” in the new 2014 Kids Activity Book, available as an insert in the April Focus. Additional copies of the April Focus, as well as individual copies of the Kids Activity Book, are available at City Hall, 509 N. McDonough St.
Georgia Cities Week gives cities an opportunity to share information about the valuable services cities provide to residents and how cities positively impact their quality of life. The week is also an opportunity to celebrate community achievements and recognize volunteers and city employees.
