This is the 3900 block of Campbellton Road (west of Greenbriar Mall), where a pedestrian was recently killed. Bus stops are on both sides, but there’s no crosswalk in either direction. This is in city limits but it's a state road. A project to make this stretch of road safer is listed on the Atlanta Department of Transportation website. It began in 2017. It's slated to be complete in 2027. 10 years for a safety fix on 2 miles of road. While people are dying. There's got to be a way to speed this stuff up. We have far too many miles worth of these deadly car-sewer roads in Atlanta for complacency and foot dragging.  How do we get these essential safety fixes sped up? Do we need to hire more staff for our DoT? I don't know what the answer is, but I want us to be asking the questions more often. Media outlets report these pedestrian deaths without questioning the road design and that stinks. I shouldn't have to keep posting these graphics year after year. I should be congratulating local media outlets for drilling our leaders on how conditions will be fixed, and then congratulating leaders for getting it done.
