Except for getting the water line repairs made before the repaving, unfortunately, this entire project has reflected poorly on the city management responsible for its implementation. The road is not well-paved; it's bumpy. The striping has taken months and has been poorly done. And it's not finished. Manhole covers are not flush with the road. People are making a SB right turn lane into Publix using the bike lane; the City should have put the RT lane in. I'm a biker--we need more car lanes than bike lanes. And damaging the freshly-laid pavement to remove the bad striping reduces the life of the pavement--and increases cost to taxpayers.

I really hope the City has not paid the contract price. This has been a small-scale circus.

This is a disaster. See photos from today - I've never witnessed anything like it.

The Mayor needs to ask the city's public works director to resign. There's just not a level of competence that befits our community.

Thanks for the photo, bofdem. I wanted to add one like that but didn't get to it.
What's interesting is that I have seen some trucks out there in the middle lane several times and thought they might be there to fix this, but when I drove by later nothing was done...

I wish I had a photo of the other side of Chamblee-Dunwoody (by the library/car wash/gas station) - the way the lines are painted - and the rectangular pothole - is becoming a major issue (cars are nearly sideswiping each other daily). Another photo for giggles since this only allows one per post...

Yes -- I've been wanting to enter something about that part of Ch-D south of Mt Vernon also but need a photo. That will be in a new entry.

I drove on Ch-D and Mt Vernon today and was reminded again that the Dun. Village Parkway and Mt Vernon roads also had early paint marks to show the lanes that was later erased and moved to the lanes that show now, but they don't have the problem of scrape marks in the surface where the old paint was remove. Only Ch-Dunwoody has that problem. Obviously done by a different contractor; now we need that contractor to fix it!

A prioritized work order is in place for this issue. Repairs will take place according to their priority. Thank you for your patience.

Update on the various issues reported here:
The smoothness of the roadway was checked for compliance with the specifications and all but one segment in one direction was found to be within tolerance. For the segment that was not in tolerance a financial penalty was assessed against the contractor.

Manholes and valve covers that the city is able to adjust have been adjusted. The ones remaining belong to AT&T and the city has been in contact with them to make adjustments. The inlet grates between Mount Vernon and Womack have also been adjusted and final pavement marking has been completed

The temporary striping was removed by hydroblasting. While it does discolor the surface it does not affect the strutural integrity of the pavement. As the pavement fades over the next 12 to 18 months the discoloration will be much less noticeable.

We will leave this issue open until AT&T adjusts the manholes.

Work has been completed in coordination with this issue. Thank you for using SeeClickFix!
