New item-DeKalb County
Cynthia Morrison is tired of the potholes in her community
“Woodland Hills Avenue N.E. is full of potholes and the street needs to be examined and repaired. The pothole on the pictures I am sending to you is directly in front of my condo complex. There was a water valve break during Christmas 2016 and the street has not been repaired,” she wrote.
She said officials have been out, but no work has been completed.
“The entire street needs repaving,” she added.
We sent the item to DeKalb County and will keep you updated.

New item-North Druid Hills
Bruce Ribner says a traffic light is horribly off kilter in DeKalb County.
“The light at North Druid Hills and Clairmont Road is mistimed in the morning- going north on Clairmont drivers go through on the first light change- in contrast, going south on Clairmont drivers frequently have to wait for three or four light changes to go through the intersection,” he wrote.
Ribner said this is one of the busiest intersections in the county and hopes the timing can be fixed.
We sent the issue to the DOT to see if it can be fixed soon.

New item-I-285
Michael Frank wants a situation on Interstate 285 fixed quickly.
“The issue occurs when motorists are traveling eastbound on I-285, going under Roswell Road, and approaching the Glenridge Drive and Ga. 400 exits. The Roswell Road entrance ramp to I-285 becomes the exit lane to Ga. 400,” Frank wrote.
He then explained the exit lane to Glenridge Drive then becomes a new exit-only lane off the Ga.400 exit lane and begins about one quarter of a mile from the actual exit.
“Instead of waiting in line in the Roswell Road entrance ramp/Ga.400 exit lane until this lane begins, many motorists are speeding down the shoulder in order to get off at Glenridge Drive or attempt to get on 400,” he added.
Frank said he would prefer the DOT allow the shoulder to be used during rush hour like they are doing on Ga. 400.
“If that cannot be implemented, then the police need to enforce the traffic law consistently.”
We sent the issue to the DOT and will see if a solution can be found.
