Hello
The rats are being attracted by the waste being left under the bridge by the
homeless population. We contacted GA311 and they came out and informed us that
anything under and surrounding the bridge is GDOT jurisdiction. We have tried
to contact GDOT and have not heard back. The foot traffic has increased as it
has gotten warmer out and the trash is accumulating which is also a fire
hazard. Does anyone have GDOT, APD or any other source that could help with
getting the trash under the bridge picked up and possibilities deterring
people from going under there?
Thank you

Hi!
I haven't seen rats lately but seeing the news article I was hoping we are
taking steps to prevent a rat infestation (like we had a while back).
Thank you to the board for all you do to keep us safe. Below are links:
