CURRENT ISSUES

Celebrating 65 Years of Brittany!Our 65th Anniversary Party was a tremendous success! Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate this incredible milestone with your Brittany neighbors. It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with longtime friends, meet new neighbors, and celebrate the history and community that make Brittany so special.Drive 25 Campaign Has Launched!Slow down, Brittany! Our Drive 25 campaign has officially launched, and you have probably seen the colorful yard signs throughout the neighborhood —created and decorated by our very own Brittany neighborhood kids! Thank you to our young artists, as well as our "yard hosts".Please take a moment remind the drivers in your family and their friends to help keep our streets safe by driving 25 mph through the neighborhood. This is one aspect of a multi-faceted approach to encourage safe driving habits and we need everyone's efforts for it to be effective. Thank you for doing your part to protect our children, pedestrians, pets, and neighbors.It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!It’s almost time to begin decorating for Halloween! The competition last year was SOOOOOO GOOD – or SOOOOO SCARY - it was hard to pick just one winner. So going forward, there will be TWO WINNERS! Judging will be on Sunday, October 18th, and winners will be announced following. Both daytime and nighttime décor will be considered, and anyone wanting to help with the judging can reply to this email!Remembering Bob HamiltonIt is with great sadness that we report the passing of one of Brittany’s original neighbors, Bob Hamilton. Bob was a resident of Brittany for over 40 years and was a vital and valued member of the Brittany Neighborhood Association. His commitment to our neighborhood and the people who live here will be remembered and missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob’s family - especially his wife, Susan - during this difficult time.Fall Color Is Coming Soon!We will be adding some beautiful fall color to the Brittany entrance and are looking for neighbors interested in helping with our fall decorating. If you would like to lend a hand, please contact Matt Ahlert at 678-429-2241. We would love your help!Halloween Road ClosureWith Halloween around the corner, this is a notification to Brittany residents (and any guests they may have) that the Breton Circle/Woodrow Loop will be closed on Saturday, October 31 from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM. We ask anyone arriving after the road closure begins to park and walk into the area. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in helping ensure the safety of all of our trick-or-treaters and neighborhood kids!

Project History

Over the years, the Brittany Neighborhood Association (BNA) has actively addressed several critical issues to preserve and enhance the quality of life within the community. Key accomplishments include:

  • Opposition to USPS Distribution Center (Mid-1990s): The BNA successfully opposed the construction of a USPS Distribution Center at the intersection of Windsor and Osborne, safeguarding the neighborhood's character and traffic conditions.

  • Establishment of Neighborhood Watch Program (Late 1990s): In response to a surge in criminal activity, including home burglaries, the BNA initiated a Neighborhood Watch program to enhance safety and security for residents.

  • Advocacy for Sidewalk Installation: The BNA collaborated with city officials to secure the installation of sidewalks throughout the Brittany neighborhood, maintaining open communication with residents regarding progress and timelines.

  • Preservation of Zoning Standards: The BNA successfully opposed proposed changes to neighborhood zoning from R100 to R75 lot sizes, ensuring the preservation of the community's established character and property values.

  • Representation in Transportation Proposals: The BNA actively represented the neighborhood's interests when proposals for bike lanes through Brittany and the installation of a "rent-a-bike" rack at Silver Lake were introduced, ensuring community concerns were addressed.

  • Advocacy on Property Tax Legislation: The BNA represented the neighborhood when the City of Brookhaven considered opting out of Georgia House Bill 581, which capped property tax increases. The city ultimately abandoned this proposal, in part due to the BNA's advocacy efforts.

These efforts reflect the BNA's ongoing commitment to protecting the interests and enhancing the well-being of the Brittany community.
