Mike Mandl, Emory’s executive vice president for administration and finance, opened the January 25 Clifton Community Partnership Advisory Group (CCPAG) meeting with an update on four initiatives scheduled during the next 12 months:
•The Sage Hill Graduate Housing and Clifton Road mixed use projects have been submitted to DeKalb County for approval.
•The North Oxford Road bookstore project is in the early design phase.
•During the next several months, the CCP will engage the community and Druid Hills High School parents in planning for the reconfiguration of Haygood Road to improve transportation effectiveness between Clifton and North Decatur roads, and to provide an attractive entrance for Druid Hills High School and Emory Healthcare.

In addition, Mandl told the CCPAG that he has invited property owners on the north side of North Decatur Road to meet with Emory representatives to discuss the long-term plans for creating an attractive, pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly approach to campus. Several homeowners have contacted Emory to express interest in this project.

A two-day urban design charrette, held in late January, is building on insights gained from the November community workshop and input from key stakeholder meetings. During the charrette, Emory administrators challenged the community to consider the trends and opportunities the community is facing as well as how community members can work together to build consensus on managing change to benefit the community.
