Missing Bollards Open

32 Krog St Ne Atlanta, GA 30307 - Inman Park

The bollards at the intersection of Krog and Edgewood to protect cyclists from turning cars have been missing for a little while now. From the looks of it, they've been knocked over and run over by cars.

I'll post a picture this evening.

  I've come to the conclusion that the plastic bollards as implemented are effectively useless. I pass by these virtually every weekday, and there is always at least one knocked down. Every day I replace them, and the next day more are down again.
  
  I believe this highlights the exact reason the bollards were put there in the first place -- to protect cyclists in the bike lane from cars turning right through the lane.
  
  These should be replaced with permanent fixtures which stand a chance at actually preventing what they attempt to.

  Agreed that this is a problem. Bollards should be constructed of a material that will both withstand and discourage contact, likely metal or concrete. How about a Jersey barrier? Undoubtedly, motorists have learned that driving over the existing plastic bollards has no adverse effects on their vehicle. Scarce city resources are being used to constantly replace these.
  
  Also, I should note, these are very useful in forcing [most] motorists to slow down and take a wide turn, which helps immensely for preventing cyclists in the bike lane from getting squashed. Fix the issue, but don't discard the concept.

  I find motorists travelling eastwards on Edgewood turning right onto Krog are liable to cut me off with the dreaded "right hook" when I'm cycling straight through intersection between the bollards and curb. A more effective strategy would be the "stop line" for cars to be painted further back (~10 feet) and a separate "stop line" for bikes be painted forwards so as to be visible to drivers. Instead of the flimsy plastic tubes we should consider a concrete barrier.

Numerous cracks and potholes in Krog St. Tunnel Open

688-912 Wylie St Se Atlanta, GA 30316, USA - Cabbagetown

The Krog Street tunnel is one gigantic pothole. Both lanes both directions and the pedestrian sidewalks are totally cracked and nearly impassable. Terrible conditions for bicyclists, any way you go through.

bicycle hazard Open

751 Dekalb Ave Atlanta, GA 30307 - Inman Park

The Krog Street tunnel has numerous potholes on the right side where cyclists tend to ride, particularly coming up to the light at Dekalb, heading north. The holes need to be filled.

  Potholes are still there and getting worse. Particularly the right side of the lane heading from Wylie to Dekalb, towards the light. This is where cyclists ride, it can be dark, and the holes are getting deeper.

Lack of crosswalks/sidewalks on Decatur @ Boulevard overpass Open

509 Decatur St Se Atlanta, GA 30312 - Sweet Auburn

Walking northbound on Boulevard, there is no safe, legal way to connect to westbound Decatur st sidewalk to get to King Memorial MARTA. One must either illegally cross Boulevard south of the tunnel, or walk in the south lane on Decatur/Dekalb after coming up the eastern staircase out of the Boulevard tunnel (There is no sidewalk on the south side of the road and no crosswalks to access the sidewalk on the north side). This is a major impediment to Cabbagetown residents using the MARTA. And it's very, very dangerous.

  Also, this particular location is adjacent to a gravel parking lot. Given the swerving/braking that may take place to avoid the potholes, doing this on loose gravel and dirt can be especially dangerous. I skidded out simply trying to stop to take a picture of the two previous potholes.

  The location on the map is a little off- the problem is actually just west of Waddell on Edgewood (heading west). Deep holes, very dangerous at night. Also, they are just after a crosswalk with a yellow 'stop for pedestrians' sign in the middle of it, so if cars get a little close to cyclists in the bike lane right there (to avoid the sign), there is no way for cyclists to avoid the holes.
