Street Racing in Peachtree Corners
Street racing is illegal and dangerous. However, GCPD cannot respond to incidents of street racing unless they are reported. If you want police to investigate, and track down the illegal activity, you must contact them directly.
GCPD West Precinct Commander, Maj. Edward Restepo's advice: I would strongly encourage any residents to contact 911 so that we can immediately respond and take the appropriate enforcement action regarding these street-racing incidents.
Remember, if you see something, say something. Call 911.

Here's the Scoop ...
Every time it rains, water runs off the land as stormwater picking up pollutants and debris - including pet waste. Pet waste left on sidewalks, streets, yards or other open areas can be washed away and carried by rainwater into storm drains and drainage ditches which flow to nearby streams, rivers, and lakes.
