City council talks paths, rezoning plans By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Dunwoody residents turned up at the Dec. 9 City Council meeting to give input on a rezoning of a shopping center and a planned multi-use path along Peeler Road. While some public meetings in
Dunwoody pass without comments from residents, 16 people spoke to open the meeting.

There was one comment expressing concern about the proposed path’s impact on homes abutting Peeler

The city says volunteers can choose to monitor a creek or stream in their backyard or selected locations across Dunwoody. Participants of all ages are welcome. Javier Sayago, stormwater capital projects manager in
Dunwoody, said the goal of the program is to keep the city’s waterways clean and healthy by checking for anything out of the norm. “We look forward to building a team of volunteers for this simple but serious work,” he said. After registering, volunteers start with a four -hour training session to become certified in how to monitor a creek or stream in their neighborhood. They can seek training in one or all three types of monitoring, including chemical, bacterial and
