Octobe~ 28, 1968 Mr. Lester li. Par3ells Atlanta Housing -~thority Hurt Building · Atlg_nta, Georgia Dear llr. Persells, · Your information to our group last Thursday vi:is _a3:rpreciated. Any aid in keeping the line of" information o_pen to tho neighborhood, rather than getting it out of the pa:9ers, v1ill be o-f great service to ell of us. The sugge3tion of 1:r. Cook and others to ch?n;:;e tha pl2.11S in the public housi::ig along North Avenue s.nc. aroU!ld the park in the Bedford-Pine ?l'in is ala_'l'"I11i~. .A.ft er ya ·l l's of planning by your group · and by the architects, the ma.'1euver to make the aNa U!lbala.TJ.ccd doe.s not seem realiastic. To have all, or a 5 reat portion, of older people or only couples viould no more fill the needs of the neighborhood than to not con.sider them at all. Therefore, we plea d th at the ori ginal :pla.'ls be kept as discus sed this yec?.l', and 2-ll efforts to maka last r:u.n.ut e major cb.211sas be rejected. We were als o disturbed e.t the :p l9.n to enlarge the araa in th;; East ·Avenue, }!acI~nzie Drive ar ea by dis:;,lo.cing so:rae 88 f amilies. Tl1is . fype move should be g iven far more co!lsideration than the fe v1 da.y.s you say will be g i-van before t he r c:: cofilz,enc1at i on is !;1c:i.de . Remenb 9r, we h·::. d not bee!l. ad.vised. ab:Jut tb.i.s bef-:i re ~hurs c1:;;y, and you ind icated a decision had to be ma1e this week . We again recor:T'.snd tha t the orig ina l bou.nd.ry end plan be adhered to and tha t no expamion be co~s idered until the original area is recon3tru.ctad and fini3hed. Again, better c-:>mmunic ation in t;J.e :planning st 20 e, rather the.n near the execution stago, should eli:nin3.te m:1D.7 of the doubts and fe ars that have existed in p a st ye ars . Sincerely, �
