Brookwood
Alliance plans
revived
BY DAN WH1SENHUNT

A proposal to change south Buckhead’s re
lationship with Peachtree Road looked like it
was headed in the direction of many similar
studies: a PDF stored on the hard drive of a
planners computer.
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.
Alliance Chairman Joe Gardner said while
the publicity died down, the promoters of
the idea soldiered on behind the scenes. Five
neighborhoods around Peachtree make up the
Alliance: Ardmore Park, Collier Hills, Col
lier Hills North, Brookwood and Brookwood
Hills.

Banishment
keeps trouble
at bay
M DAN WHISENHUNT

Mess up in Buckhead and it will get you
banished, a local judge says.
Atlanta Municipal Judge Gary Jackson said
bar patrons who are “excessively obnoxious”
usually get banned from Buckhead. 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
