The attached photos are a stretch of drastically overgrown sidewalk near the intersection of North Arcadia and Dekalb Industrial (between the old DeVry place and Clarion Apartments).

I’m a runner who regularly runs through this area and downtown Decatur. And right now that sidewalk (as well as a patch farther up the hill on the same side of the street) is so drastically overgrown you can’t even walk through it, let alone run! Which leaves a person to have to try and cross that 6 lane street to other side right in the bend of a curve….and considering how fast cars drive on that section of road, that’s an extremely dangerous option.

It’s been overgrown for a LONG time now. It used to be regularly cut. But no more.

My questions: Who is in charge of cutting back all that overgrowth? Who do I contact to bug the crap out of until it’s done?

Well, it’s certainly DeKalb County, but I’m not sure who specifically should be bugged.  Anyone know?

One more pic of the hungry-hungry nature after the jump.
