The Atlanta Police Department continues its crackdown on illegal street racing and released new details on its weekend enforcement activity. For the weekend of Sept. 25-27, officers made 43 traffic stops, issues 93 citations, and impounded two vehicles. APD continues to encourage residents to call 911 if they witness street racing.
Advocacy organization Atlanta Bicycle Coalition has named Rachel Stanley as senior development manager. Stanley will be responsible for developing and overseeing the
coalition’s fundraising goals. Funding for this transformative position is provided by Power to Grow, a multi-year investment in fundraising leadership from Mailchimp. Prior to joining ABC, Stanley served as grants manager of the Latin American Association where she wrote, managed and stewarded five- and six-figure grants from foundations, government agencies and corporations to support a range of initiatives,
including social service and youth mentoring programs.
