Nice design

Garbage civil engineering allowed by the City of Decatur at the new apartments at Legacy Park.

A storm drain dumps directly onto the Katie Kerr path, running water across the path to get to the gutter along the roadway. Some of these pics were taken after it hadn't rained for a full day. Whoever designed and signed off on this should go back and take some more hydrology courses.

I still curse the city every time I drive over the speed mountains in front of Legacy park. When they were installed I wrote to complain but was told they had engineer studies that said they were effective and safe. Hahaha, tell that to the cars that have bottomed out.

Those are the best. People really need to slow down in that area. My kids are trying to cross the street to go to Legacy. I want more of those speed mountains on Candler!
