Hedge growing in front of house at the SE corner of Henderson and University can block driver heading west on University from seeing car (bicycle?) heading north on Henderson. I was heading north; had to slam on brakes. I thought the other driver had failed to stop, but when i came back later, i found that their line of sight might have been blocked. Thanks!
There are what I believe are curb extensions at the intersection of Fess and Maxwell. At night, these extensions are not marked nor lit. When turning onto Maxwell off of Fess with oncoming traffic you are forced over to the side of the road. In my case, I hit the curb busting a tire and doing extensive damage to the car. I went back the following day and it is clear the curbs have been hit by multiple vehicles. Reflectors or other signage would be helpful for the unexpected curb extensions. Thanks!
Hi, I drive a bucket truck for a business on thorton drive. The boom sticks out six feet in front of the truck. When i pull out onto henderson I am almost in the middle of the road before i can see if traffic is coming. My main concern is that a bus or large vehicle could catch the boom and cause an accident.Before I was hoping the city could remove the overgrowth of brush at the intersection to make it safer. Thanks, Ben
Blue Honda van with Indiana plates 374SAL is parked in yellow zone on West 7th St just west of Maple. Obstructing visibility for cars traveling South on Maple while crossing intersection.
Safety hazard/ line of sight Driving- pulling out on to 2nd Street, unable to see west bound traffic on 2nd street.
800 Block of W. 2nd St(2nd and Euclid):from Euclid turning on to 2nd, it is difficult to see looking East to turn out on 2nd due to plants. 900 Block of W. 3rd St: Sidewalk blocked by plants on the North side of the street. 700 Block of W. Smith: Impassable due to overgrown plants and trees.
Tall plantings on NW corner of S Fess/Maxwell corner making it very difficult to pull out safely on to Maxwell from Fess.
Day lilies on the west make it difficult to see the street when travelling north bound at Hawthorne and Maxwell. Difficult to see oncoming traffic when trying to turn right or left.
I leave near the corner of South Grant Street and East Allen Street. When traveling south on Grant, there is a stop sign at Allen St where it is truly impossible to safely see if any traffic is coming from the West. The vegetation is so overgrown on this corner that it goes several meters beyond the stop sign. Since there is no stop sign for drivers traveling East or West on Allen, drivers on Grant Street have to inch out slowly halfway into the intersection until gaining any visibility around the vegetation. Please send somebody to remove the vegetation on this corner or I'll end up doing it myself. It's far too dangerous for a road where there are almost always cyclists which wouldn't be as easily seen or heard as a car.
