City of Decatur PLUS

The area around construction on "The Notion" development project is extremely unsafe to west-bound drivers traveling in the right-most lane of E Ponce (and to pedestrians as well). The fence bordering the construction project is jutting well into the roadway and has been for weeks, and the gate to enter the construction site is frequently flung or blown open into the right lane of traffic. More than once lately, I've had to quickly change lanes to avoid hitting the fence and then quickly move back over to avoid the left turn-only lane on E Ponce just past the light. I've watched other drivers doing the same. Shouldn't this safety issue be addressed by the developer?

I went to the end of Greenwood Ave to see how issue ID: 15103423 had been addressed by the City of Decatur. The code violation post was "acknowledged" 4 months after the issue was reported and then "closed" 1.5 months after that by Decatur Public Works. Absolutely nothing has been done to address the issues, and it's a worse dumping ground in and around the creek than when it was reported 6.5 months ago. Why is issue ID: 15103423 closed?

I understand that this facility's patrons may prefer privacy but do the front windows meet the Downtown Special Pedestrian Area requirement for minimum transparency (25 percent of total area of first floor elevation)?

The sidewalk is almost completely overgrown in front of 240 Lansdowne. There has been a pile of dead wood at the curb for more than three years.

Why are all the abandoned cars still at this intersection? The same officer from Decatur PD has been assigned over and over again to this problem but clearly hasn't been successful in making any change. Have they even visited the location and spoken with the owners at 222 Feld? These cars are clearly part of the unregistered junkyard they're operating.

Both emergency exits from Mckoy pool are bike chained closed. So if there was an emergency, there's only 1 exit, the main entrance. All occupied areas require at least 2 exits. As designed, the pool should have 3. It currently has only 1.

Article III - 54.56 (prohibited conditions) -54.57 (storage of abandoned vehicles and junk) - many violations.

No silt fence and located at top of hill with rain in forecast. Sidewalk blocked.

The house has numerous wall of roof problems and has for several years. From the photo, you can see holes in the roof and the back wall collapsing. There is also a makeshift fence or wall made of junk and trash along the side of the property.

Cement residue from construction site running down street and hardening in gutter.
