A nearby resident, Gus Pritchett said, “I’ve been here 35 years, and it’s gotten worse. It’s a shame we don’t have sidewalks. This street is dark, and it’s a shame this happened, and it’s going to happen again.” He and the other neighbors are concerned that something like this will happen again if safety measures aren’t taken soon, since there are no sidewalks or street lamps.
Dexter Chambers, a spokesman for the Atlanta City Council, released a statement. “We are sensitive to the fact that more sidewalks are needed throughout the city of Atlanta. A sidewalk commission has been established to look at all areas where pedestrian safety should be top priority. With our last bond referendum we focused on installing sidewalks along our school zones. Now our focus is on installing sidewalks throughout all neighborhoods in our city.”
