New item-Atlanta
Tom McGowan wants something done about a sewer grate.
“The attached photo shows the sewer grate that’s been a problem for several years in Grant Park. It is on the roadway from Georgia Avenue to the zoo parking lot. The problem is that the curbstones leading up to it have moved in several inches past the sewer grate. People regularly hit the sewer as they hug the curve and have blown out both tires when they do. The fix required is to move the curbs back in line with the sewer grate,” he wrote.
We sent the item to the city and will keep you updated.

We got an update last week about an issue that was first reported last summer. A reader inquired about large metal plates on the bridge over the railroad tracks as you approach East Paces Ferry Road towards Lenox Square.
“The Department of Public Works is currently conducting repairs to the bridge at this location. Repairs to the bridge began on March 25 and are scheduled for completion, weather permitting, during the week of July 18,” said city officials.

Update-Interstate 20
Earlier this month, we told you about Anita John’s frustration with Interstate 20.
“Interstate 20 east and west is in very bad shape from the Douglas County line to the Atlanta city area, with large potholes and road damage due to weather and volume of traffic. It is been like that since August, 2014 when I started going to Carrollton to my daughter’s college. Please do something,” she wrote. We heard back from the DOT.
“The Georgia Department of Transportation contractors will begin resurfacing I-20 eastbound and westbound as early as next week, weather permitting. Resurfacing will take place from Hill Street in Atlanta to Sweetwater Creek (just after Thornton Road),” said DOT officials.
