Item: Atlanta (DeKalb)
Mark Beckwith is tired of having a road littered with potholes.
“Near 2082 Zelda Drive, there are two potholes that have almost completely blocked the use of the road. The big pothole is about six inches deep. The photo doesn’t look like the hole is that deep, but you would not want to drive over it unless you want to ruin your car. The entire road needs to be repaired, as there are other bad areas all over the road. The road is about a quarter-mile long, but has multiple potholes that have been temporarily fixed,” Beckwith wrote.
We sent the item to DeKalb County and will keep you updated.

Abbi Taylor is having a tough time with an exit off a state highway.
“I was reading your column and realized that I should have done this weeks ago. The exit ramp from Hwy. 78 E. to Hugh Howell has a series of six huge potholes and more every day. There are also some on the westbound exit to Hugh Howell as well. I drive a small car that’s low to the ground, and I’m constantly having to drive around the potholes, which is becoming increasingly more difficult,” she wrote.
We sent the issue to the DOT and will let you know when it is fixed.
