Dr. David Jenkins hopes something can be done about another damaged area at Walker Terrace.
“Once again I need your help. Last autumn after many months of begging the city to repair two damaged places and remove metal plates on Walker Terrace in Midtown, I turned to you for help. Your notice in the AJC got action, for which all of us on Walker Terrace are grateful,” Jenkins said.
But, Jenkins added, only a month after those repairs, the city dug up another section of sidewalk and street - only a few feet from one of the previous metal plates - to do more repairs.
“Would you be kind enough to inspire action once more?” he added.
We are happy to try and aid Dr. Jenkins and sent his concerns to the city.

New item-Clairmont Road
A reader hopes something can be done about some giant potholes on Clairmont Road. The reader wrote the affected area is right before the light at Clairmont and Mason Mill Road going toward North Decatur Road in the right hand lane.
“And, the previously patched (not fixed) pothole on Clairmont Road just before FedEx and the light at North Decatur Road in the right hand lane is now also in need of patching/fixing again,” the reader added.
We sent the issue to the DOT and got an immediate response that the issue would be quickly added to their to-do list.

Johnny Holland hopes something can be done about a water leak.
“Traveling north away from Sandy Springs on Johnson Ferry Road and after crossing the Chattahoochee River into Cobb County, then climbing the hill toward Paper Mill Road, there is water running across the sidewalk and down the gutter into the water drain,” Holland said.
He said this is an area is on the right hand side traveling north and is about 20 to 30 feet of a constant wet area and running water that has been there for several years.
“There may be a natural spring near the sidewalk which could account for the water, but if is a leakage problem, than thousands upon thousands of gallons of water have gone down the drain,” he added.
We sent his issue to Cobb County and will keep you updated.
