Johns Creek’s Pothole Posse
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The city of Johns Creek doesn’t mind stealing a good idea on occasion even when it comes from Atlanta.
Mayor Mike Bodker said he’s establishing a pothole posse, similar to the one that Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin established.
The city’s contractor, CH2M Hill-OMI, did a comprehensive survey of city streets soon after Johns Creek became a legal entity on Dec. 1, and then did a refresher survey in the past few weeks.
Based on that, city staff and the company plans to develop a priority list and to aggressively address the bone-jarring holes that pock the city’s roadways and byways. There’s about 130 potholes identified citywide, which would cost about $105,000 to fix.
Bodker has said he hopes to have them all repaired within a couple of months, and staff members are rejiggering the budget to find the money.
Stayed tuned…
