At the NW corner of Grant and 8th there is a shrub that blocks the view of oncoming traffic when one is waiting at the intersection on Grant heading south. The traffic on 8th is sometimes quite fast, and there are often also parked cars nearby make this a dangerous intersection. It is especially bad during summer when the shrubs are in leaf. They should not just be trimmed but instead removed completely from the corner.
Attempting to turn left onto Hillside onto Washington is extremely difficult during high traffic times. Contributing to this is the very poor sight line when attempting to see oncoming traffic - the hill up from walnut blocks westbound traffic to a degree, and the porch structure built to the property line at 202 E Hillside makes it very hard to see eastbound traffic. What could be done to make this intersection feel less perilous?
This dog-leg is a heavily used walkway for the employees of Solution Tree that has to walk across the street to get to parking lot. I have almost been hit many times as well as my coworkers. Cars do not slow down and it is a BLIND bend. Please make this a top priority to put a sign up before someone gets seriously injured or killed. I really appreciate your time and God bless. -Dean Chapin - Solution Tree 555 N. Morton
Turning left/south onto Rockport from Ralston is frightening. This morning I almost got hit. I do look north and south several times each before turning out. From the north cars are coming over a hill, and we can't see far enough south onto Rockport to see a car coming north. The trees on the SE corner of that intersection need to be trimmed way back, regularly. Thank you for listening and helping!
Overgrown lawn weeds blocking line of sight for drivers exiting Prospect Hill Neighhood from Euclid Street to turn onto 2nd street. House is on the north east corner of 2nd street.
View is blocked turning on to 11th from Blair
Overgrown bush blocks visibility to the west
Bushes along williamsburg prevent cars turning out from in front of barnes and noble from seeing northbound traffic that doesn't have to stop
This intersection is BLIND to travelers on Grant Street. The building on the NE corner abuts the sidewalk (who allowed this to be built there???), preventing a south-bound driver from seeing cars traveling west on 9th Street, and it's almost as bad for travelers heading north. If the building at 401 E. 9th is allowed to remain standing, there should be at least a stop sign on 9th Street, since it is so difficult to see oncoming traffic.
