The Atlanta City Council approved legislation Monday repealing part of the City of Atlanta Code of Ordinances related to moving household goods at night (Legislative Reference No 19-O-1288). According to the ordinance, the current code section is enforced infrequently and broadly written, raising the likelihood of selective enforcement.
Additionally, the Council approved legislation authorizing the chief financial officer to amend the Fiscal Year 2019 budget by transferring development impact fee funds to fund the Cycle Atlanta 1.0 Project (Legislative Reference No. 19-O-1258). The project aims to connect bicycle facilities to existing transit facilities, improving mobility between transportation modes within the city at several locations, including Courtland Street, Washington Street, Gilmer Street, Peachtree Street/Ralph McGill Boulevard, Porter Place, Walton Street and Brady Avenue.
