If the southwest side of Elm St is on the right side coming up Elm St from Telfair, this is definitely a blind spot when cars are parked in the designated parking spaces on the left at the top of the hill and on the "right" side in non designated parking. I strongly suggest that the "right" side of the street that I have described at the top of the hill when traveling from Telfair, be a "No Parking" zone.

Thank y’all for taking this issue under consideration again.

This issue has been unresolved for 181 days, according to a note I just received SeeClickFix.

241 days and counting and still no resolution to this issue.

Nine months and counting on this request, and there has still been no action from the city of Macon.

Thank you for reporting this issue. Your request has been referred to a supervisor to take appropriate action.

It’s been almost a year and a half since I first asked Macon-Bibb County, in this forum, to install speed limit and stop signs on Elm Street, near Mercer. There isn’t a single stop sign or speed limit sign on Elm, west of Telfair.

As a result, people speed up and down Elm St. every day like it’s the Indy 500 or the back stretch at Talladega. It’s simply ridiculous how fast some of these folks drive and how reckless they are. This includes utility truck drivers, UPS, FedEx, etc, who use Elm and Ross as a cut-through between Telfair and College, to avoid the stop signs on Ash and the stoplights at the intersection of Telfair and Oglethorpe.

While Elm is a public street and people are perfectly entitled to use it, is it unreasonable to ask that Macon-Bibb County should take measures to ensure that this traffic doesn’t present a danger to everyone who lives on the street?

I’ve talked to my district commissioner. I’ve talked to the city’s chief traffic engineer. I’ve heard a lot of polite talk and emory promises, but so far, I’ve seen absolutely no action.

This is a major pedestrian safety issue for this neighborhood. Sooner or later, somebody is going to get hit by a car and killed because people are driving too fast on Elm. Is that what it’s going to take before Macon-Bibb finally takes action?

Appreciate the city putting the new stop signs in on Elm St.

Issue administratively close due to time lapse. Please resubmit another request if issue not resolved.
