Southbound stop sign on Sare rd, at Canada dr., Has very poor visibility
Southbound stop sign on Sare rd, at Canada dr., Has very poor visibility
I noticed several signs that are overgrown by foliage, causing them to be hard to see. One sign, a stop sign at E. Hunter Ave and Eastside Dr. is dangerous as it is covered up and could cause an accident. Other signs on E. Hunter Ave and South Eastside Dr are also covered. See photos. However, when the "foliage trimmers", came by, my tree was the only one trimmed and the 'parking permit' sign could be seen by an airplane as they butchered the tree. Other signs were ignored. Why? I would like them to notify me, the owner, if it needs to be trimmed and I would like to be there or do it myself.
There are trees blocking sight of the road to the right of the heatherwood entrance when you are trying to pull out, you basically have to pull out and hope no-one is coming
When turning out of E. Wilson St. onto S. Woodlawn Ave., it's nearly impossible to see oncoming traffic from the north because of a large yew bush close to the street. The bush is in the southeast corner of the lawn at the second house north of the intersection. It was difficult to see when the bush was small and has only gotten worse.
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.
There is overgrowth blocking the line of sight at the Driscoll/Palmer stop sign (heading east, looking to the north at the sign)
Trees are blocking stop sign as you head south on Sare road. This morning was the 2nd time I have seen a car blow through that spot without even a delayed acknowledgement of the sign. **Main pedestrian way to Olcott Park and near Jackson Creek!!!
E Morningside on way to park super dark at night. Missing light?
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!
There is no yellow curb north of the parking garage at the new Urban Station apartments on Washington, meaning that cars can park right up to the entrance. This makes the field of vision for vehicles leaving the garage very poor. Compounding this is the issue of cars briefly double parking alongside the car immediately north of the exit to pick up and drop off tenants.This is especially problematical because there is a bike lane right up against the parked cars. As I was typing this, I saw a car nearly hit one cyclist in the bike lane and two children riding on the sidewalk. I have also seen a few close calls between vehicles. The only thing preventing accidents at this point is the large moving vehicles parking in the bike lane, forcing bikes to move over to where they can be seen. A yellow curb to the north would greatly help expand visibility for drivers exiting the parking garage. Additionally, now that riding on the sidewalk is legal and I just saw two children nearly hit by a car exiting from the garage, I think it would be prudent to have a mirror installed so drivers can see the sidewalk before exiting--not sure if this would be a city issue or an issue with Urban Station itself. Being that these apartments have been occupied for only four days and I have witnessed one accident, three or four vehicular close calls, and two vehicle-bicycle close calls, I hope the city gives this problem area the attention it needs. As is, it is only a matter of time before a serious collision occurs.
