![]() Developers said then it was expected to be a $73-million investment in the city overall. The Chamblee Downtown Development Authority granted the project a $4.4-million tax break in 2021. Rents for Lumen Chamblee haven’t been specified, and a leasing website has yet to be launched. Meanwhile, the three-building Lumen Briarcliff is currently taking shape with 264 apartments and retail at a site off Interstate 85 in northeast Atlanta. As of early 2022, Chamblee's Downtown Development Authority was forecasting that five developments within a couple blocks of each other near the city’s northern end, including Lumen Chamblee, would be moving forward at the same time.įinished projects in the Lumen development team’s portfolio include Lumen Grant Park on Memorial Drive (237 units) and Lumen Doraville (320 units). Courtesy of Chamblee Downtown Development AuthorityĬhamblee’s population of more than 31,000 has tripled since 2010 (thanks in part to annexation), and a Town Center vision for the downtown area is striving to add cohesiveness and walkability-boosted by additions such as Chamblee’s Rail Trail-the area had been lacking. That is the actual experience of having your car stolen and trying to get help from PPB.Recent (in yellow) and ongoing development sites (green) clustered around downtown Chamblee, as shown early last year. I also got to pay my deductible, no chance of recourse against the thieves because the cop was just too lazy. I found it 5 hours later and had to pay a bunch of money to get it towed out of the field. He promised he would then just left without making any attempt to contact me or identify the thieves who were actively damaging my vehicle and eventually abandoned it in the field. They begged him to contact the owner which is a relatively easy thing for a cop to do. They told him this was a spot where stolen cars and trucks were consistently being handed off (thieves were on site trying to get it out of the field and the ignition was punched it was obviously stolen and stuck on property not owned by the thieves). Thieves had gotten it stuck in a field in the mud, the cop came and ran the plate but I hadn’t reported it yet. My truck was stolen, some folks who lived next to a known spot for handing off vehicles saw my truck show up a half hour after it was taken, I didn’t even know it was gone from my driveway yet but they called the police. If you think the cops are doing anything related to stolen cars you clearly haven’t had a car stolen in the portland area in the last few years. If you don’t have CashApp and would rather Venmo, you can send funds to and I’ll make sure they get to Cole (just include a note to let me know). You can send her money using CashApp to the account $colesodcash. The totaled bike was Cole’s sole form of transportation and she used it to commute from the Alberta area to a job at Ota Tofu (just behind the tavern).Ĭole would appreciate help buying a new bike. There’s one in front of a Mexican food place near my house on North Rosa Parks Way that has been hit and damaged so many times, it was recently removed. “There’s really nothing I can do though.”ĭrivers hitting on-street bike corrals is unfortunately very common in Portland. ![]() ![]() Cole has the driver’s name and information but isn’t sure what will happen next. And a call to the police wasn’t fruitful, as she got the impression they didn’t really care about the incident after the officer didn’t even ask for the driver’s name. We cant wait see you all at the next LUMEN. We had a fabulous day, people catching up & meeting new residents. I don’t know how you couldn’t see it!” she said.Īccording to Cole, the SUV didn’t have any license plates. Thank you everyone for coming out, spending your Saturday poolside at LUMEN GRANT PARK. “ says he didn’t see it,” Cole added, recalling a conversation with the driver, whose vehicle is still parked on Sandy with its bumper on the ground and a very bent wheel. ![]() The location is just two blocks east of t he crossing I wrote about yesterday - the one where many drivers are ignoring the law and driving through a gap in a median that’s supposed to be bike-only. The bike corral is on the southeast corner of the Sandy/Stark intersection right in front of The Slammer Tavern. And my bike is totaled,” Cole said.Ĭole said the driver was headed north on Sandy and turned right on Stark. “They drove straight into it and took all of the racks out. She was across the street around 8:00 am this morning and witnessed the driver turn onto Stark from Sandy. The collision flattened and/or uprooted six City of Portland-issued staple racks and a bicycle that was locked to one of them.Ī reader sent us photos of the aftermath and I just had a quick call with a person named Cole, who happens to be the bike’s owner. The driver of an SUV slammed into an on-street bike parking corral on SE Stark this morning. Mangled bike racks and bike didn’t stand a chance against an SUV driver.
