New item-Downtown Atlanta
Steve Siler hopes something can be done about a serious issue in the heart of downtown.
“There is a storm sewer at the southwest corner of Peachtree Center Avenue and John Portman Boulevard downtown that is regularly backed up. Standing water blocks the crosswalk and forces pedestrians to negotiate the street to get around the puddles,” he wrote. We sent the item to the city and will keep you updated.

Sally Littlejohn hopes something can be done about an unfinished project near her house.
“I am writing to you about a problem near my house on LaVista Road in DeKalb County. Two years ago crews began widening a two block intersection of LaVista Road between Frazier Road and Fair Oaks Road. The intent was to add turn lanes and sidewalks. It took them a long time to move power lines, but they eventually did it. They also finished the sidewalks after many delays. However, there have been orange cones sitting around for two years, and they’ve never finished the project. The road that’s been widened still needs to be repaved and painted for the new turn lanes. They also need to fix potholes in the area. And, of course, the cones need to be removed,” she wrote. We sent the item to DeKalb County and will let you know when its fixed.

“The road behind Northlake Mall (Northlake Parkway) has potholes galore and is in very bad shape. Can you investigate when this road will be fixed? It hasn’t been re-paved in years,” she said.
