Photo here was taken standing on the right-of-way line, which is approximately 40' from the edge of Bowman Road. The 2 (two) black steel sign frames seen here are clearly on the public right-of-way. I can provide the GIS photo with dimensions if necessary. Please remove and place in steel recycle container at the Macon-Bibb convenience center. Thank you.

Public Works: Right-of-Way ArchivadoRiverside Park Blvd Macon, Georgia, 31210 - Macon-Bibb CountyThis illegal sign (once owned by a business that moved away) was originally reported as issue 16308387 and the issue was closed in error by "SAllison". The note stated" "This issue is located on private property, and not the responsibility of Macon-Bibb Public Works to maintain or repair. We can not service private property". As you can see from the GIS snapshot, this illegal sign is slap dab in the middle of the road, on a raised concrete divider and is 100% on the public right-of-way. Please have this illegal sign removed and disposed of properly. Thank you!

Public Works: Right-of-Way Archivado5208 Bowman Rd Macon, Georgia, 31210 - Macon-Bibb CountyThis was originally reported as issue #16308417 and was closed in error because "SAllison" stated that the illegal sign was on "private property". In fact, this illegal off-site sign is 100% on the public right-of-way as evidenced by the GIS snapshot attached. The Bowman Road right-of-way is 100' wide (see red measurement line generated by the GIS system) that clearly and unequivocally shows that the illegal sign is on the public right-of-way. Please have this removed and disposed of. Thank you!

Public Works: Right-of-Way Archivado3946 Northside Dr Macon, Georgia, 31210 - Macon-Bibb CountyThis is the FOURTH time this has been reported. The previous report (Issue 16083030) was reported yesterday. Today, I got a reply that stated that "someone from the city told them that their sign was not in the right-of-way". Accepting this false excuse is is a complete sham and failure to perform the duties of a Public Works employee. I am looking directly at the Macon-Bibb GIS and it accurately shows that the signs are illegally in the public right-of-way. In fact, the ROW setback almost touches the 90 degree corner of the parking lot curbing that is closest to the building. Please follow up and remove the illegal signs. If necessary, I will create another issue and attach a photo of the GIS map so that everyone can see it and won't be fooled by some thin "excuse".

Roads Archivado201 Sleepy Creek Rd Macon GA 31210, United States - US Congressional District GA8The dirt and grass have built up on both sides of New Forsyth Road near Sleepy Creek Rd. When it rains, the deep water is a hazard. Can this be graded down to allow natural drainage away from the road? I have placed stakes at each of the most dangerous spots that need attention.

When it is reset, can a 'No Thru Trucks' sign be added to the steel post? This will allow any illegal trucks to turn onto the interstate and not go through Pate Road or Rivoli Drive, which are classified as truck restricted. Thanks!

Public Works: Right-of-Way Archivado5811 Zebulon Rd Macon, Georgia, 31210 - Macon-Bibb CountyOriginally issue #15681352 and shown as 5811 Zebulon Rd. Issue was incorrectly closed after AllisonS@PW wrote:
Spoke with store worker and they went out and moved the sign back off the right of way. This is a problem. The proper and correct procedure is to remove illegal signs from the Public Right-Of-Way per state law OCGA 32-6-51 and Macon-Bibb ordinance 16-11. Asking someone to move the sign creates another problem, ...... a violation of Macon-Bibb zoning ordinances (25.04). Conspiring with others to avoid an illegal act and then to create a zoning violation is not only unethical, it is illegal. Public Works employees are supposed to follow the correct procedures and obey the law. Please address this internal problem and the other outstanding issues that unethically were skirted and sidestepped near 3950 Northside Drive. -

Public Works: Right-of-Way Archivado105 Bass Plantation Dr Macon GA 31210, United States - Macon-Bibb CountyPublic Works failed to remove six (6) illegal signs that were clearly on the public right of way last month at this location. The right of way is at least 25 feet behind these illegal signs, which should be removed and disposed of properly at the Convenience Center. There should be no need to make multiple complaints about the same issue.
