Bells Ferry Road Cleanup
Thanks to members of our public service, including Police Chief Mike Register, our own Officer Fernando Pharr -- Community Engagement Officer, and Commissioner JoAnn Birrell, who along with some of our neighborhood volunteers joined the BFCA Board in our quarterly road clean up. On Saturday, March 24 we spent two hours picking up litter along Bells Ferry Road between Hawkins Store and the fire station. All told, the group collected 33 bags of trash along with signs, car parts, tires, and other items that couldn't fit into bags. We'd also like to thank DOT for picking up these bags for us.
We'll have quarterly clean ups along our mile that we'll post. We also encourage you and your group to adopt your own mile. Visit www.keepcobbbeautiful.org or call (770) 528-1135 for more Adopt-a-Mile info.

Introducing Officer Pharr: Community engagement officer
We would like to introduce everyone to Officer Fernando Pharr. He is with the Cobb County Police Department and is the new Community Engagement Officer for Precinct 1. Part of his responsibilities include working with citizens to identify and resolve issues which affect the livability of our immediate area. Specifically, he can help with speeding, stop sign issues and code violations in neighborhoods. He is also available to attend your Home Owner Association Meeting or board meeting, and can be contacted at Fernando.pharr@cobbcounty.org.
As Cobb County continues to grow and develop, issues impacting the well-being of area residents are constantly surfacing; issues such as traffic speed and congestion, zoning and development, environmental quality, preservation of open space, crime control and prevention, and neighborhood enhancements. The BFCA is an all-volunteer organization from the Bells Ferry corridor. We work with local legislators, environmental groups, law enforcement officials, residents and neighborhood associations within our area to address these issues head-on as they arise. Individuals are encouraged to actively participate in their communities and the decisions affecting them.
