Man Ticketed for Walking in the Street

(East) Atlanta, Georgia - 26 May 09

A man was ticketed for walking in the street to avoid a sidewalk hole. Atlanta is infamous for its uneven sidewalks and pothole-ridden streets. One of the City's bridges (Mitchell Street) had to be closed because it could no longer carry vehicular traffic. The bridge repairs are listed as one of GDOT's stimulus projects. Another bridge in the City that needs repair is the Courtland Street bridge, which crosses of Decatur Street. This is in the heart of the Georgia State University (GSU) campus. There are nets under the bridge with signs that tell pedestrians and vehicles that pieces of the bridge may fall. That's bad when you have to post signs that say that.
