Description
In the new bike lane on the south side of Mt. Vernon (eastbound direction), there is a pothole a several inches deep and in width (appears as if the top layer of new asphalt has simply "broken away"). It is located approximately 200 - 400 feet west of the Ashford-Dunwoody intersection.

NOTHING has been even remotely repaired and the ENTIRE AREA is completely screwed up and VERY DANGEROUS! The ENTIRE paving job must be REDONE! I don't know with whom you/we contracted, but the work was NOT performed in a workmanlike manner and they undoubtedly breached whatever warranty - whether express or implied (e.g. warranty of fitness for a particular purpose) was included on the job/contract. Here is what I wrote on a related post:
"Attn: City of Dunwoody/Public Works Dept: The (re?) paving job on Mt. Vernon is HORRENDOUS! The quality is grossly and unacceptably low and there are countless potholes, debris and all kinds of other problems over/in/on lengthy sections - esp. from a few hundred yards East (?) of Abernathy toward/near Ashford Dunwoody. I mean seriously, WHAT the heck is going on with that "project"??"
So if you need an experienced construction/contract litigation attorney, by all means, I would be happy to assist (www.atlantalawyer.org).
Lastly, I don't think non-cyclists understand that bike lanes DETRACT from the quality of cycling when, as here, the lane is not divided by a physical median or divider of some kind. This is because the debris from motor vehicles gets kicked into and rarely kicked out of the bike lane, whereas before/without one, motorists are not restricted from the extra room on the shoulder and thus the debris never accumulates. So as a longtime and frequent cyclists - I rode there today - I am OPPOSED to the lanes. I appreciate the thought and effort, but I am confident that most experienced cyclists would concur with my analysis and opinion (and non-experienced cyclists and non-cyclists will/would too in time/if they rode).
