Hi. I see that you have closed the sidewalk where the construction is happening by the Vermack intersection. Just as you allow motor vehicle access, please create pedestrian access (and ensure that no signs are in the way of access). Note there is no sidewalk on the other side of the street so perhaps you could set up a coned lane for pedestrian access next to the travel lane. Many cities actually require continual pedestrian access during construction. Even if Dunwoody does not require it, it sends an important message about your commitment to walkability and access for all, especially those with disabilities, children, and those pushing strollers. Perhaps in the future, providing safe, reliable access at all times could become a way of operating so citizens don’t need to continually request this. Thank you.

Hi. I ride my bike all over Dunwoody and many of the bike lanes are relatively unusable (and sometimes downright unsafe) because of the amount of gravel in them. Do you know when the next time the bike lanes will be cleaned will be? I think you have it on a quarterly schedule. If it’s not for awhile, do you think it would be best for me to go around with a broom and clear them myself?

Please, please, please tell your contractors and utility workers and others with these big orange signs to stop blocking the sidewalks. Seniors, children, stroller-pushers, those with mobility challenges, and others use this very busy sidewalk, and others throughout our city, daily.

There is an enormous pothole in the bike lane and partly in the traffic lane. I am guessing you know about this already, but if not, wow, this is dangerous! (Pictured under my right hand below)

The bike lane heading east on Mt. Vernon near the corner of Chamblee Dunwoody is obstructed. See photo. (It is in front of the old car wash)

There is a very long linear cut in the pavement of the east bound bike lane that could catch a thin road tire and cause a very serious accident.

Hi! It seems like you are in the process of fixing “Pointy,” the bike lane that ends in a point (photo 1) where Ashford Dunwoody merges into Mt. Vernon heading east. I rode it yesterday because I heard there had been work done there (photo 2) and it is impossible to safely navigate on a bike, and is confusing to motor vehicle drivers. Are you adding a signal, stop sign, green paint, and/or any other additional best-practices improvements? If so, do you have an expected completion date? It is currently a death trap for bike riders.

Hi. Cones seem to be blocking an open sewer hole as a protection to bike riders, which is nice. However, they cause a bike rider to have to veer closer to the motor vehicles, thereby increasing danger to both bike riders and drivers as drivers must then veer even farther into oncoming traffic to provide the legally-required 3-feet clearance. I am guessing you have ordered a grate for that sewer hole and are just awaiting it to then install and remove the cones. Do you have an anticipated date for that completion? Thanks.

The turning lane arrow does not recognize a bike rider and therefore does not provide a bike rider in the turn lane with a green arrow to turn. This is a 5-minute signal adjustment (you’ve done it for two other intersections with me) and I would be happy to meet a traffic engineer out there so that he/she can calibrate it to recognize a bike. Thanks.

Construction signs are blocking safe and complete sidewalk access unnecessarily. This serves as an impenetrable barrier for those in wheelchairs, and could lead to unsafe choices for those of all ages walking, those pushing strollers, and kids riding bikes. Please ensure safe and predictable sidewalk access during the 9 months of construction in this area. Thanks!

Am guessing that this will be fixed as the Dunwoody Village Parkway is finished, but just wanted to mention it to be sure. This corner is always flooded (even long after storms) right at the crosswalk, making it difficult to cross the street as a pedestrian, and definitely impossible if you are in a wheelchair. Also, on the other side of the street, the pedestrian button cannot be reached on that pole if you are pushing a stroller or in a wheelchair. Plus, there are no curb cuts across the street from the flooding spot by the pole-you-can’t-reach. Thanks!
