    1280 Church St Decatur, GA, 30030, USA - Decatur
    Going south towards Decatur on Church St., in the left lane, just before the crosswalk are multiple potholes--so many you can't avoid them. The construction vehicles entering the Moda development have really made them bad. They fixed the ones in the northbound lanes, but not these. Would appreciate having this issue addressed.
  • West Howard At Drexel Aven Decatur, Georgia - Decatur
    "There are two dips in the road (or potholes) on West Howard Ave. on both sides of Drexel Ave, as you travel towards Atlanta. Would you please fill these in so the road surface is level?" This is NOT a duplicate ticket! And I have talked to the county (which you said you were going to inform). 1) The previous ticket referred to a single pothole--you filled a bit of the deepest section and left the rest as is--it is NOT level with the street. 2) There is now a second pothole that needs to be filled level with the street. 3) I talk regularly with the wonderful woman who supervises pothole repair in DeKalb County, and she confirms that pothole repair in the city of Decatur is Decatur's responsibility. 4) The horrible condition of West Howard has severely damaged my car--last repair (just to get car running again) was $1,000+. 5) And I agree with those concerned about safety--I travel the road twice daily at non-peak hours, and am still passed by those who drive into lanes for oncoming traffic in order to speed around me. There was an accident near the Valero about 3 weeks ago, around 6:30-7 p.m. It's a shame that the city of Decatur has so little pride that all the effort is put into finding excuses for doing nothing, rather than addressing issues appropriately. I'm ready to join all those asking for a public meeting.

  • West Howard Ave.(Commerce To Paden) Decatur, Georgia - Decatur
    Are you going to repave? Restriping and erasure of old lines created rough spots inside all the old lanes; & drivers are forced to drive into every pothole and dip the city hasn't repaired. Also, new lanes weave over the seam in the road, catching tires in the crack. In another Decatur location this so damaged my tires they disintegrated, exposing sharp metal threads.
  • West Howard Ave. Decatur, Georgia - Decatur
    Lane markings (particularly the double yellow lines) on heavily trafficked West Howard Ave. between Commerce Dr. and Paden Circle are so worn and faint that they become invisible in the nighttime and during rain. Can you help drivers by repainting the lane markings?
  • 921 And 917 Church St. Decatur, Georgia - Decatur
    Going north/northeast in the left lane of Church St. in front of Decatur Inn and Super 8 are two manholes w/ covers that have been "repaired." The "repairs" are worse than the original problems--the blacktop surrounding them is not level with the road surface, vigorously jarring vehicles as they rattle over them. Please mill down smoothly! (might be county issue) There's no way to avoid hitting them.

    West Howard Ave. At Commerce Dr. Decatur, Georgia - Decatur
    Pothole is located in the left westbound lane on West Howard. If you're on Commerce and turning right onto West Howard, it's hard to miss this. There's some sort of metal cover (much smaller than a manhole cover) located near the pothole.
