New item-DeKalb County
Scott McLean is concerned about a busy stretch of road in unincorporated DeKalb County.
“There are several large potholes on Old McDonough Road. This is across the street from the Conley post office. It’s just outside Interstate 285 in unincorporated DeKalb County. The two-lane roadway gets a phenomenal amount of trailer-truck traffic and the asphalt is heavily damaged in several spots,” McLean wrote.
He said along one stretch there are six or seven huge potholes and the area needs immediate attention.
We sent the item to the county and got a quick response.
“We checked and found base failure at this location requiring major repair work because of the type of heavy traffic. We will do a temporary leveling job here within the next week and schedule base removal and repair within the next 30 to 45 days,” said the county’s communication manager Andrew Cauthen.

A resident is upset over a water leak.
“There is a water leak that leaves water in the road on West Paces Ferry Road westbound between the governor’s mansion and Tuxedo Road. It is not hurting anything now except wasting water, but when we start having freezing temperatures, we’re going to have a dangerous icy patch,” the resident wrote.
We sent the item to the city and will keep you updated.

Doug Schoenborn is concerned about a faded stop sign.
“In the Northlake Village shopping center parking lot inside the perimeter on LaVista Road near I-285, there is a stop sign in the drive / road going west from Chick-fil-a and Jason’s Deli that has a very faded stop sign that does not stand out very well to drivers. I feel it would be very easy for a driver, especially if not familiar with the stop sign, to run through the stop sign since I feel it is difficult to see,” he said.
We sent the item to the county and got a quick response.
“The stop signs have been checked and are private, not county owned or maintained,” said Communications Manager Andrew Cauthen.
