Two drawers in the side of the road between 171 and 191 Alexandria Drive

I initially requested this through SCF and was told to contact the Dept of Transportation because Vineville is a state route. I was told by a supervisor at Ga DoT that they would ONLY respond to a request from the city/county. They said they would not even study the issue based only on my request. I am requesting that the City/County recommend to GaDot that the two 45 mph speed limit signs located on northbound Vineville Avenue at Belvedere and across from the block between Euclid and Rest Haven be changed to 35 mph. There is actually a 35mph sign at Lake Terrace on south bound Vineville, directly across from the 45 mph sign at Belvedere. Why would traffic one direction have a different speed limit than the other direction? Maybe it is just a mistake? Other reasons to reduce from 45 to 35 mph: 1) the rest of Vineville is either 35 mph or even 30 mph including just a 1/2 mile before these signs; 2) this is a residential area with homes with children and pets and numerous intersecting streets (just in this half mile block there is Riverdale, Berkley, Rest Haven, Euclid and Roycrest) and driveways (for homes and professional Offices ); 3) the interchangeable middle lane on Vineville is already a risk for accidents (especially people turning left from the right lane when the middle lane is going their direction) so having an increased speed limit on any portion of it is highly inadvisable, because cars need to be driving slowly enough to respond to cars not acting consistently with the traffic for that time of day; 4) it makes sense to have the speed limit increase to 45 after the intersection/traffic signal with Forest Hill and Park Street - when it becomes Forsyth Rd and is five lanes, but not within 1/2 mile of that intersection, when Vineville is still 3 lanes and cars should be preparing to stop at that intersection; 5) this is already a busy intersection and there is an ambulance dispatch center right next to the Flash Foods, so cars are often needing to yield to the ambulance entering the intersection, even when they have a green light. I would also like to request that the City/County ask the Ga DOT to put a 35 mph speed limit sign on south bound Vineville Avenue at the intersection with Rest Haven. The far right lane ends abruptly at this point and cars are often trying to merge back into traffic. Indeed, more than once cars have run into and knocked down the telephone pole at the end of Rest Haven (and large yellow and black hazard signs have been placed there to help people keep from doing this). The first 35 mph sign on Vineville does not appear until Lake Terrace. For all the reasons I stated above, I believe the speed limit on Vineville should be no more than 35 mph over this entire 1/2 mile stretch, in both directions and more prominently marked as such. I would like to request that Macon/Bibb Traffic Engineering ask GaDOT to make this change. Thank you.

I've tried to cut down the branches and bamboo as much as I could.

Why oh why is there a 45 MPH speed limit sign here?? This is a residential neighborhood and I thought all of Vineville Avenue was 35 mph? It just makes no sense that people should be allowed/encouraged to speed up before a very congested intersection at Forest Hill and Park Street, especially because there is an ambulance dispatch station at that intersection as well. Yes, they are going to speed up once they get through the traffic signal and it changes to Forsyth Road - but why increase the speed limit before then?? I've wondered about this for a while, but the recent road resurfacing on Vineville just reminded me about it. Who knows if it will help, but seems like 35 mph is much more appropriate. My 87 year old father lives off Ridge Avenue and he actually tries to cross Vineville in this area to visit me on Berkley Drive. I am terrified that he is going to be run over because the cars go so fast. I also worry about all the pets in our neighborhood if they were to get out and get near Vineville. While there are professional offices on Vineville this is still primarily a residential neighborhood and 45 mph speed limit is really inappropriate. Thanks for any help you can provide!

I would like to request a 35 mph Speed Limit sign on Vineville after cars pass through the traffic light at the intersection of Forest Hill/Park Street (where the Flash Foods and Walgreen's are). People go sooo fast after they come through that intersection, especially in the mornings when it is two lanes going into town. I have to pull out into Vineville from my street (Berkley Drive) and I am astounded at how much speed they can pick up by the time they go just two blocks. I believe that is the speed limit there - and we have had people run into telephone poles on RestHaven. Plus, with the lane change system on Vineville, it really should not be treated as an expressway by drivers.

I tried to cut down the limbs as much as I could with the tools I had.

Sidewalk is busted up and uneven and a risk for someone to fall. I reported it on 12/27/13 but still nothing has been done about it.
