N Decatur Rd to be repaved 5/11-13

A local resident received notice in their mail box that N. Decatur Road between Scott Blvd and Claremont/Clairmont Rd will be repaved on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday May 11-13. "The notice reports that the road will be practically blocked and they will be using black tar as an asphalt adhesive which can damage cars if driven through."  The resident called the City of Decatur Public Works department, who confirmed that this work would be done (weather permitting).  This might cause a spike in cut-through commuter traffic.

N Superior Traffic Calming "mix-up"

Many of you have noticed the removal then reinstallation of traffic calming devices along N Superior. This is the message we received a couple days ago from commissioner Rader's office in response to our inquiry: "This was a mix up. The traffic islands were supposed to be narrowed to accommodate emergency vehicles, so now they are putting them back in. One exception [is an] island [that] will be a speed table based on administrative decision. Hope this helps clarify."
