Jim Hightower wants a pothole fixed.

AT Jones is worried over a collapsed road.

“The street at 1140 Angelo Court in the city of Atlanta has collapsed.Several weeks ago the city put a new sewer tap in the street.The main line is 20 feet in the ground so there was a large hole which they did not properly cover. The rains came and eroded the street around the hole It also collapsed another portion of the road 10 feet by 10 feet by 2 feet deep .This is a serious problem because school buses use this road every weekday,” he wrote.

Jones said the iron grate the city used barely covers the hole and the street is washed away under the grate

“Therefore the likelyhood of a school bus falling in the hole is great. Dysfunction junction also known as the city has been called numerous times but nothing has been done. We need your help before there is a serious accident,” Jones added.
