Decatur Metro | November 16, 2015 | 10:05 am
Was your street selected to be paved by the city of Decatur next year? Here’s the list being presented to the Decatur City Commission this evening…
- Eastland Drive – between Willow Lane and the City Limits (0.15 miles)
- Pensdale Road – between Willow Lane and City Limits (0.04 miles)
- Midway Road – between S Candler Street and City Limits (0.22 miles)
- Chelsea Drive – between Coventry Road and Kathryn Avenue (0.24 miles)
- Olympic Place – between E College Avenue and Dead End (0.25 miles)
- Swanton Way – between Commerce Drive and Dead End (0.08 miles)
The city selects streets after an evaluation of streets (using “Road Surface Management Pavement Condition Evaluations System”), complaints and inquiries received from citizens.

After all the construction for the new water main going in at Superior & N. Decatur, they should really repave the entire COD section of both streets. The amount of pot-holes, metal plates, etc. on that section of the road is really bad. It is also very noticeable when you move from Dekalb to COD on who owns the road sections since Dekalb recently repaved their section, just makes ours look worse.
I’m curious re: the evaluation process. I wonder how Lockwood Terrace could be placed on the list. It’s a sinkhole waiting to happen. A neighbor was literally almost killed after he was thrown off his bike after hitting one of the potholes.
