The Brookwood Alliance refused to let it die. Now there’s a renewed push to get the city of Atlanta to adopt the proposals as part of the city code, more than a year after the last seri ous discussions about it.

The ban ishment can last for as little as 30 days or as long as 178 days in extreme cases. The banishment doesn’t keep people from living in or driving through the community, he said. His orders stipulate the sentence will apply during certain times of the day, keeping troublemakers away during peak troublemak ing hours. For example, a copy of an order he signed in November shows he banned a defendant from Buckhead for 60 days between the hours SEE TROUBLE, PAGE 28
