Other: I frequently travel N and S on Hunter, and it is very, very difficult because of street parking to see whether there is oncoming traffic at this Woodlawn intersection. (There are other similar situations in the neighborhood, but this one is particularly bad.) it would be wonderful if there were convex traffic mirrors to be able to see around the corner. These are commonly used in low-visibility corners in Europe, and can be highly effective.

Hi Steven, Thank you for submitting this uReport regarding the intersection of Woodlawn and Hunter (original report pasted down at the bottom). I have to apologize for the long delay in response. We've had a bit of staff turnover recently and this uReport was still assigned to someone no longer employed by the City. I'm hoping you can clarify the report for me as we start to investigate the intersection. You note that you frequently travel north and south on Hunter (I assume you meant east and west) and have trouble with visibility at the Woodlawn intersection. Is there a particular direction (eastbound or westbound) that is worse or do you have trouble with both? Do you notice a difference looking to the north vs looking to the south? There's a number of reasons why we likely won't recommend a mirror, but there are other potential options to improve visibility at this location. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. - Neil
