    Decatur Selects Residential Roads To Be Paved Next Year

    Decatur Metro | October 6, 2014

    Lately around Decatur it’s felt like we’re in the midst of a season of paving, as the whole of College Ave and selected neighborhood streets have gotten a fresh coat of asphalt.  Not to mention the random bouts of paving along Clairemont Avenue the last couple of months.

    Well, GDOT is ready to accept next year’s list of residential paving around the city.  Here’s the list of streets that Asst. City Manager David Yunger is submitting to the city this evening…

    • East Parkwood Road from West Ponce de Leon Avenue to West Parkwood Road intersection – .55 miles
    • Fairview Street from Sycamore Drive. to Lockwood Terrace – .07 miles
    • Lenore Street from Adams Street to South McDonough Street – .15 miles
    • Springdale Street from Sycamore Drive to east end of street – .12 miles
    • Vidal Boulevard from Lamont Drive to Lamom Drive – .35 miles
    • West Hill Street from end of Oakhurst Streetscape project to South McDonough Street – .31 miles

      What happened to Ansley? It’s the worst street in Oakhurst.

        I think (hope, pray…) that it is already approved and in the works.

          Sams Crossing, Ansley Street and Talley Street Planning to Paved
          Decatur Metro | September 15, 2014

          Thanks to a $209,000 balance remaining in the paving budget for this year, three more sections of Decatur roads are planning to be paved.

          In the note from David Junger on the Decatur City Commission meeting agenda, the city is recommending paving…

          Ansley Street from Oakview Road to the westside of Kings Highway
          Talley Street in front of the Talley Street Lofts and Public Works facility
          The northside of Sams Crossing (GDOT recently repaved the southside of Sams Crossing when it paved College Ave)

        +100! Ansley is like a patchwork of potholes. Calling it a road is being generous. I can’t believe it’s not on the list.

      How about connecting E Hill Between South McDonough Street and South Candler Street

      Pretty please with sugar, a cherry, and sprinkles on top!

        I would support that, so long as there are speed bumps every five feet.

        Take a look at the terrain. It would take a lots of landfill to engineer it to current standards.
