An effort led by the powerful civic organization, The Buckhead Coalition,  is asking 16 Buckhead neighborhoods to participate in the mapping of pothole locations. This is The Buckhead Coalition’s new project, “Code Buckhead 300″.  The Coalition will then ask the City of Atlanta to repair the potholes.  

 

The Buckhead Coalition and neighborhood volunteers identified a total of 302 potholes in the Buckhead neighborhoods. But the City of Atlanta only has the responsibility of filling 290 of the potholes, since 12 are on state roads and are the responsibility of the Georgia Department of Transportation. The city’s departments of Public Works and Watershed Management will handle the repairs on local roadways; state officials will handle the repairs on Georgia highways.

 

Neighbors in the 28-square-mile Buckhead area are identifying potholes by street address and GPS coordinates. The Buckhead Coalition will submit the list to Atlanta’s mayor, along with a little of the Coalition’s infamous persuasion. The participating Buckhead neighborhoods are:

• Brookwood Civic Association
• Collier Hills North Neighborhood Association
• Garden Hills Civic Association
• Memorial Park Civic Association
• Mount Paran-Northside Citizens Association
• North Buckhead Civic Association
• Paces Civic Association
• Peachtree Battle Alliance, Inc.
• Peachtree Heights East Civic Association
• Peachtree Heights West Civic Association
• Peachtree Hills Civic Association
• Peachtree Park Civic Association
• Ridgedale Park Civic Association
