What’s not working around metro Atlanta

Item: Marietta (Cobb)

Lori O’Neal is concerned over a projection on the expressway.

“When transitioning from I-75 N to I-575 N, there is a bump in the right lane of the off-/on-ramp. When cars hit this bump while going 65 mph, it is very jarring, possibly damaging. It has been there for a very long time. Can you please find out if they ever intend to fix it?” she wrote.

We sent the issue to the DOT and will let you know when it as is fixed.

Who’s looking into it: Geor- gia Department of Transpor- tation, mediarequests@dot. ga.gov

Fixed: Decatur (DeKalb)

Last month, we told you about Charles Bohanan’s effort to save tires in DeKalb County.

“I am sure that the audiences going to Onstage Atlanta’s relatively new home at 3041 North Decatur Road at the intersection with Francis Street would love to save their tires and not have to drive through the mess of potholes to get to the theatre’s parking lot,” he wrote.

We sent the item to DeKalb County and received a picture showing the completed project.

Who got it fixed: Communications Manager Andrew Cauthen, acauthen@dekalb- countyga.gov

Item: Atlanta (Fulton)

We sent a reminder to the city about Bill Worth’s concerns over traffic lights that have outlived their usefulness.

“Please try to move the traffic lights from Piedmont and Currier to Piedmont and Renaissance Parkway NE. The Civic Center is closed and Currier is only a block long; why can’t a stop sign be utilized?

Also, please move the traffic light from Currier and Courtland to Renaissance Parkway NE and Courtland.

There is more auto and pedestrian traffic on Renaissance Parkway than Currier,” he wrote.

Days on the list: 120

Who’s looking into it: City of Atlanta Department of Public Works Commissioner James Jackson, 404330-6240, jamesjackson@atlantaga.gov
