We're located on the westside of Atlanta and have a long, rich history!
The purpose of this Association is social and civic: to promote, coordinate and implement all aspects of community planning through neighborhood participation and advice to the Atlanta City Council, the Department of Planning, Development and Neighborhood Conservation and other planning advisory bodies.
To provide a vehicle for maximum citizen participation in promoting the livability and environment of the English Avenue neighborhood. All of which is not for profit (nonprofit).

English Avenue is the apex of the westside and the heartbeat of Atlanta. The Westside Beltline Connector runs right through our neighborhood, and we're less than a mile from Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Georgia Aquarium, the Georgia World Congress Center, Centennial Olympic Park, Georgia Tech, and the Atlanta University Center.

Potholes, illegal dumping, streetlights, code violations, and most non-emergency city issues go through ATL311.
Crime reports, code enforcement, and the investment already committed inside our boundary — pulled from City of Atlanta, Atlanta Police, and U.S. Census open data. This tells you what happened — it doesn't tell you what it means. That's what our meetings are for.
A crime report is what was reported to APD, not a conviction, and reports get reclassified or removed. A code case is a neighbor who spoke up and an inspector who came out — it says as much about who is paying attention as about any one property. A project on this map is a commitment, and commitments are worth tracking precisely because they don't always arrive on schedule or in the form promised. Numbers alone don't explain who is buying property here, who is being priced out, or what any of it means for the people already living on these blocks. That deeper conversation happens in our committee meetings — Public Safety and ZoHoLU dig into the specifics. The general body meeting is where each committee reports that work back to everyone.
An unhoused neighbor, someone in a mental health crisis, or a neighbor struggling with substance use isn't a police matter, and it isn't a pothole. That's what PAD (Policing Alternatives & Diversion) is for.
PAD sends a trained response team — not police — to help with immediate needs and connect people to longer-term care. Request PAD the same way you'd request any city service: call 311 and ask for PAD, weekdays.
For non-emergencies you can also just dial 311 from anywhere in the city.
