Description
residents of Glen Ridge apartments are crossing Chambers Rd day and night to go to Walmart. It's getting dangerous driving in the pitch black dark in front of the apartments. there are no street lights there at all. there are too many lights in places you don't need them. please place 2-3 street lights there and in front of Walmart road on both sides. I am also requesting some cross walks as people are crossing on both sides of the entrance to Walmart. but the side closest to Bloomfield Rd is the most dangerous side. They are also crossing to the magic market.

A street light has been approved for the intersection of Chambers Rd and Brookhaven Road, it is on Georgia Power's schedule to be installed. If any other street lights are requested you will need to contact Facilities Management at (478) 751-9260 in order to obtain the required petition form tobe mailed to you. No further action can be taken until the petition has been returned.
Here is the process. Upon receipt of the street light petition, a field survey shall be conducted by Facilities Management, or its designee, to determine the existing lighting conditions including the number of street lights, locations, spacing, fixtures types, poles, and any other pertinent information.
- (1) An inspection may take place at night hours if deemed necessary to properly assess the area.
- (2) Once the petition is verified, a map shall be drawn of the area showing any existing street light.
- (3)Facilities Management or their designee, shall prepare a recommendation and estimated cost of such work, including installation of lights, maintenance cost, and electricity cost.
- (4) All findings, costs, and recommendations shall then be submitted via resolution to the Macon-Bibb Commission for consideration and approval of installation. The Macon-Bibb County Commission shall assess each petition individually on the merits and shall be required to identify funding for any approved projects
- Roughly, the entire process may take from 3 to 6 months.
As for the crosswalks, I have forwarded this issue to our Traffic Engineering Department for review.
Thanks,
Cassandra
