Will the Lakeside High School area and its 50,000 residents form a new city?

The newly formed Lakeside City Alliance wants to study the question. The nonprofit, chaired by Northlake-area resident Mary Kay Woodworth, will hold its first public meeting at Lakeside High on Feb. 13. It released a statement Wednesday that said the study area would "be bounded roughly by Interstate 85 to the west, Clairmont Road to the south, Chamblee-Tucker Road to the east and Pleasantdale Road to the north."

The Alliance wants area residents to have more "local control of police services, parks and zoning." The group plans a series of public meetings to introduce the map of its proposed boundaries.
