Update-Cobb County
In July,we told you about a pothole that concerned Larry Donaldson.
“There is a very large and deep pothole that crosses, by at least a foot, over the white, right side lane boundary stripe in the northbound lane of Highway 92 as it meets Highway 41 in northwest Cobb County. My wife hit the pothole this week and destroyed both the right front tire and wheel, bent the suspension, and scraped the bottom of the front end spoiler,” he wrote.
We heard back from the DOT on the issue.
“We’ve treated this pothole twice with temporary patching in the last few weeks. On July 13 we visited the area and our temporary patch of the pothole on SR 92 @ SR 3 was intact. We did go out to the same area on (July 14) and perform work outside the travel lane in the shoulder area,” wrote DOT Communications Officer Annalysce Baker-Wilson.

Ann Ferretti wants something done about metal plates in one of the city’s premier areas.
“About two weeks ago, the city placed two large metal plates on Lenox Road on the bridge over the railroad tracks as you approach East Paces Ferry Road towards Lenox Square. One of these things has broken free of the material that’s supposed to keep it in place until the pavement underneath is repaired,” she wrote.
She said about eight or nine years ago, a similar situation occurred, but the plate managed to work its way half-way down Lenox Road and was a constant annoyance, day and night, to residents of a large apartment complex and several condominium communities as well as the Pine Hills neighborhood.
We sent her information to the city and will let you know the outcome.

New item…and update!-Cobb County
Kathy Maneri is concerned over signage in Cobb County.
“Traveling west on Lower Roswell Road from Johnson Ferry Road in East Cobb is two lanes. A sign indicating the right lane is a turn only lane disappeared about two years ago. Traffic continually backs up as uninformed motorists get in the right lane only to have to “beg” to be let in the left lane at the Woodlawn traffic light to continue west on Lower Roswell Road, ” she wrote.
We heard back quickly from Cobb County.
“During our review, staff did find that there is an existing ‘Right Lane Must Turn Right’ sign for westbound Lower Roswell Road approaching Woodlawn Drive. Nonetheless, we recommend an additional sign for this approach to provide added guidance that this lane becomes a mandatory right turn. We will also have the corresponding pavement markings refreshed, including turn arrows, to further reinforce this as well,” wrote Cobb County engineer Paul Giles.
