closed: Resolved #144793

Traffic Related Complaints:

Other: There is a large tree that blocks the view of the east side of the road on 8th street from Roosevelt street. There have been many close calls with traffic and I think it's dangerous. The only way to see traffic coming from the east side is to pull up past the tree, but by then you are already halfway in the road. I would appreciate it if this tree could be cut down or at least cut in a way that makes it possible to see the road. The photo is the view from Roosevelt looking left to 8th street at the stop sign.

Visited the subject intersection. Verified the tree described in the uReport obstructs the view of WB traffic on 8th Street. While in field, a nearby resident said the bush in the SW corner actually creates a larger sight distance/safety concern. Field measurements confirmed the shrub in the SW corner also obstructs desired sight lines.
