Other: Tree and brush growth needs to be cut back to provide better visibility at the intersection of Brighton Crest and Smith Road. When you are exiting from Brighton Crest facing west and looking south, the tree and brush growth limits your line of sight. Traffic travels at high speed (much faster than the posted speed limit) which further compounds this problem. The hilly nature of Smith Road also makes the line of sight less. Increased speed enforcement and tree and brush removal would make this much safer. As a longer term project, Smith Road needs to be redesigned and developed with considerations made for vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles. This is a dense residential area and yet Smith Road remains a hilly and dangerous country road.
This area is already on the extra patrol request log for increased traffic enforcement.
Hi Ryan, The Engineering Department's staff has visited the location and didn't see any major line of sight issue at the intersection. However, since they mentioned increased enforcement of speed, we are passing it your way. Thanks!
