What’s not working around metro Atlanta

Item: Marietta (Cobb)

Poorly lit stretches of road can cause problems for many drivers. Randy Cook is not happy about a dark stretch of highway.

“Two nights recently, I have observed that the streetights are not illuminated on I-75 from near Windy Hill Road north to the Lockheed exit and beyond. We get off at the Lockheed exit, but the lights can be observed to not be on even further to the north,” Cook said. Cook recalls this being an issue years ago before the new toll road expressway was built.

“I presumed the streetlights would be made functional when this project was completed, but that has not happened. Also noteworthy is that the new reversible express lane has street lights, which were illumi- nated,” he added.

We sent the issue to the DOT and will keep you updated.

Christine Stasko has a problem with an intersection in Cobb County. “I hope you can point me in the right direction to register this issue. I live in Cobb County and would love to see a permanent solution to a long-standing traffic issue at the intersection of Terrell

Mill Road and Cobb Parkway,” Stasko wrote.

“My issue is with the yellow median space to the left of those lanes that impatient and selfish drivers use as a third left-turning lane. This is an accident waiting to happen. In fact, I have actually seen accidents because of this, which then turns both northbound and southbound Cobb Parkway into a nightmare,” she wrote.
