Subject: Inquiry about GA Stimulus State Project Number 008592
Hello Georgia DOT team,
My neighbors and I are interested in
learning more about the traffic intersection improvements in the
DeKalb County Northlake area (State Project Number 008592). I
searched your website and found the following document
http://www.dot.ga.gov/informationcenter/gastimulus/Documents/Reports/1587/1587-7-09.pdf
[see page15] Any information that you could share is
appreciated. For example, one of my neighbors asked for more
information about the cameras installed on the new traffic lights by
Henderson Mill Elementary.
Best Regards,
Jenni
Below is the
summary from
Georgia Department of Transportation:
The cameras
are being used for vehicle detection to change the signals. They will
not be used for red-light enforcement. (Executive Assistant to
Chief Engineer)
The cameras
are being used for vehicle detection for the signal. We use them
sometimes instead of the loops in the pavement. They are typically
used when we do not have enough right of way to install loops which is
probably the case at the school. (Project Manager)

Henderson Mill
Gridlock
If you travel weekday mornings on
Henderson Mill Road, you'd noticed the change in traffic since
October 19th, 2009. Observations from homeowners traveling from Evans
Road and Henderson Road directions believed it was related to the Evans
Road traffic light. On 10/26/09, a report was made with the
Traffic Engineering Dept. of the DeKalb County Roads Division.
They would assess the issue within 5-7 business days. The
engineer and tech would check the programming and determine if the
cause was programming or equipment related. A resolution
would occur by end of
week.

On 10/29/09 morning,
homeowners reported seeing county reps monitoring the traffic situation.
Resolution follows:

Subject: Repair Followup
[Jenni] this is a follow up to our conversation on or about November
13, 2009 regarding repairs. The repair activity that was centered
on the reported signal problems at Evans Road @ Henderson Mill Road
was reportedly due to a stuck pedestrian pushbutton which adversely
affected signal phasing times. The solution involved repairing the
defective pushbutton and checking the intersection for proper
operations.

Mr.
Glover,
I
really appreciate the detailed explanation of the cause and
resolution. I’d like to thank you and your staff for promptly
responding to the traffic light issue. The traffic flow is
significantly better!
Best Regards,
Jenni

Concerning Rezoning of Les Jardins Apartment
Henderson
Mill Road neighbor reports 1/14/09: "The corner house at
Henderson Mill Rd. and Dunnington Cir.,
that has been empty for several years, is about to be demolished.
After the apartments were built behind that house, the run off from
them went into the basement of this house. The house became
moldy and uninhabitable. The owner has been fighting with the
county ever since. It is our understanding that the county
finally settled with her and plan to tear it down sometime in the next
few weeks."

On December 18,
2007 the BOC approved an ordinance accepting and appropriating a Flood
Mitigation Assistance program award from the Federal Emergency
Management (FEMA), into a new Stormwater CIP account, for the purchase
of five flood prone homes in District One (includes Dunnington
Circle).
