Turns onto 3rd street from Overhill Drive are very, very dangerous! It is basically a turn into a 5 lane road. I was going southbound on Overhill Drive making a left turn onto 3rd, but I was unable to see incoming traffic from eastbound 3rd street which was being blocked by cars stopped at the stoplight on westbound 3rd st. They frequently have to slow down to let me in and sometimes I have to swerve my car into the center lane to avoid an accident. The problem with that though is that sometimes westbound people on 3rd street wanting to turn left on Woodcrest Drive speed through the middle lane and almost crash into me while I am turning left onto 3rd street. It seems like the connection between Overhill Drive and 3rd street should be blocked off because there is no traffic light onto the 5 lane road which has high traffic, and due to the stoplight at 3rd/Woodcrest, all the stopped vehicles are blocking the view of oncoming traffic.
The trees and brush along the east side of Walnut reduce visibility for drivers turning from Blue Ridge Drive onto Walnut. These were trimmed recently, but have become a problem again after all the rain.
DANGEROUS! Turning left on to Vernal Pike form Crescent Rd, the site line for 17th St is terrible. LOTS Of near accidents. Needs a traffic triggered stoplight!
Bushes along williamsburg prevent cars turning out from in front of barnes and noble from seeing northbound traffic that doesn't have to stop
June 25 storm. Very large evergreen/pine trees blew over. Insurance says it’s the city’s responsibility to clear the blocked sidewalk. Myself and my neighbors cannot see to exit our driveways. Feel free to contact me for any questions. Thank you!

Need limb & brush debris from storm picked up
During heavy traffic, visibility can be very poor for vehicles traveling southbound on Washington Street and attempting to cross or merge onto 10th street. Tonight I witnessed an accident caused by a white suv attempting to turn eastbound onto 10th from washington. The vehicle was promptly hit after turning onto 10th by a car that was most likely traveling far too fast. A stop sign at the intersection would make things a lot safer! I'm really concerned a pedestrian is going to injured at some point at this crossing.
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?
