Stay in the Loop 💫
Will Fellowship Road get safer?
The City of Tucker has been working on improving the sightline for the intersection between Fellowship and 1st Avenue. This construction will help to remove visual obstructions and help drivers see more clearly. Hopefully, this will make things safer for our residents.
Based on their Instagram update comments, it looks like Tucker residents are excited about the project. Phase 2 will be to make it look nicer! This work is part of the larger effort outlined in the Tucker Trail Master Plan. Read more about other exciting Tucker developments here.
What other traffic improvements do you think Tucker needs?
Coyotes got you howling?
Reports of coyotes continue to grow across Tucker neighborhoods. It’s only natural as we expand residential and commercial spaces into their natural habitats. That being said, residents should stay vigilant! Make sure to keep pets inside and small dogs on a short leash. Coyotes are usually more scared of us than we are of them!
If you need additional resources, try Atlanta Coyote Project.
