First, Atlanta Board of Education Chairwoman Erika Mitchell discusses the latest regarding the district's superintendent search and how a community advisory panel will participate in the interviewing process.

Then Rose talks with Mozley Park residents Mia Pennington and Keith Palmer. They are members of the Five Mile Project (5MP) and have been advocating for the installation of noise barriers by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDPT).

In PART TWO of their conversation, Pennington and Palmer share how a community garden came to develop. A chain-link fence separates the garden from I-20. Pennington and Palmer talk more about how they are working to beautify their neighborhood and an app they are using to track the noise coming from the nearby highway.

Lastly, Rose and producer Daniel Rayzel discuss responses from elected officials and the Georgia Department of Transportation regarding the request for noise barriers.
