Ivy Street Regrading Up For City Council Vote
Atlanta council will vote to regrade Ivy Street with $30,600 from property owners and $5,000 city funds, county convicts to do most work, and consider Whitehall Street regrading from Trinity Avenue to Cooper Street after a strong petition from south side property owners. Whitehall and Peachtree are linked as a north south thoroughfare, and county support is expected to cover heavy work reducing city costs.
