Following a vote by City Council on Monday night, the city of Oakwood will soon be responsible for maintaining 8.46 miles of Georgia Department of Transportation highways going through the city. At its monthly meeting, Oakwood City Council approved a contract with the DOT that will require the city to maintain what City Manager Stan Brown said are primarily Atlanta Highway and Mundy Mill Road in Oakwood. “We will be responsible for the labor materials and equipment to do the mowing, upkeep of rights of way, shoulder maintenance, ditch cleaning, snow and ice removal, and maintaining and installing guardrails when necessary,” Brown said.
