Item: Atlanta (Fulton)
Paul Kasicki is tired of walking in the dark in his neighborhood.
“I rent an apartment across the street from the Old Fourth Ward Park on the North Avenue side. I would estimate that 40 percent of the sidewalk lights do not work. Either they’re not getting power, or they’re burned out. I walk my dog at night, and occasionally they’re homeless people sleeping in the park. Can the city repair the lights?” he asked.
We sent the information to the city and will let you know when the item has been addressed.

Item: Atlanta (Fulton)
Jeff Grimm wants several potholes repaired.
“I work in Resurgens Plaza on East Paces Ferry Road. Last year, this street between Lenox Road and East Roxboro was upgraded by widening its sidewalks and adding pedestrian crossings, but the street itself still has not been repaved and has many potholes. When will this street and Lenox Road between East Paces and Peachtree finally be repaved?” he asked.
We sent the information to the city and will keep you updated.
