Chesnut Charter Elementary School

Peachford road, along Chesnut school property. DeKalb school district almost never maintains this part of their property. Weeds exceed 18" continuiously. They should be cited by Code Enforcement.

There is incredible traffic backed up on N Peachtree to Tilly Mill every morning, and having travelled this route for more than a decade, there is an obvious cause of much of the traffic which can be remedied without cost or difficulty. The issue is that the crossing guard will always stop traffic whenever anyone comes to cross from either side - regardless of how long ago he/she has stopped traffic . Any traffic control device which allows one direction to cross randomly and at will while stopping the other every few seconds will inevitably lead to terrible backups. The simplest solution would be to direct the crossing guard that he/she must allow cars to travel for at least 45-60 seconds before stopping traffic again. At most, pedestrians would stand on the sidewalk for 40 seconds or so before crossing. At the moment, the guard often stops traffic every 10-20 seconds which impedes any significant traffic flow.

Bike lanes need re-painting & bike lane markers. All along North Peachtree. Recommend thermoplastic.

Parents who have dropped their children off at Chesnut, back up traffic past Tilly Mill attempting to turn down Brookhurst in order to turn around. No Thru street signs or a posted officer should be enough to correct this behavior to clear traffic. Perhaps restrict the quantity of parents who can drop children off at school.

Additionally, perhaps another method of ferrying children safely across N. Peachtree, as traffic is constantly stopped to allow safe crossing.

The grass needs cutting along N. Peachtreee Road and especially along Peachtree Road. This has been an on-going problem for a long time. The School District has ignored this for years.

There is a dead phone wire and a dead cable wire. When facing the school, at the left portion of the woods/lawn, they are dangling and creating concern even if they are “safe.”
Further, the young students shouldn’t be told that they don’t need to worry about it because they may see a live one and not be concerned.
One of these have been there for 2 years

Pothole on North Peachtree just before Peachford, getting larger every day, going to damage some vehicles

So much trash scattered along sidewalk on the way Chesnut on N Peachtree - even opened packages of condoms C'mon I have picked up trash several times myself but can the city help out and put the walk to school on their list of roadway trash pickup, please???

Regarding the “no left turn” from N Peachtree into Chesnut Elementary school for traffic purposes. Isn’t this a city or county’s jurisdiction rather than the school’s? We as parents shouldn’t have to police this. The staff of Chesnut should not as well- I would think that’s a big liability.(they don’t do it but I have heard that suggested)
Please consider either more prominent signs and more enforcement, or
Please consider allowing the left turn with the stipulation being a traffic officer present to direct cars (this would allow our students from that side of the school the same access that the other side has.

debri buildup behind bustop on the corner across from ballfield gnats are starting to accumilate from all the leaves an grass clippings around power boxs.
