Southbound traffic cannot be seen to east heading motorists at the intersection of sixth and washington.
While Smith Road between 3rd street and Morningside is closed for construction work, Heritage Road has become a thoroughfare. Parking on the street is causing a real hazard as there is not enough room for 2 lanes of traffic. Either signs need to be posted ASAP or on the street parking must not be permitted until construction is finished. I am up visiting my mom who lives at this address. This is a hazard on many levels and it is just a matter of time before an accident happens and someone gets hurt and their vehicle gets damaged. Please turn your immediate attention to this traffic problem!
There is a line of sight issue turning right out the Goodwill Store parking lot. The trees and vegetation makes it very difficult to see oncoming traffic, since Liberty Drive makes a bend right at our access drive. An article was ran in the Bloomington Herald Times by Marci Creps describing how hazardous this intersection is. We would like to have this resolved as quickly as possible, given the bad publicity we have already received from this issue.
On the southeast corner of Wilson St. & Lincoln St., the curb is partially painted yellow, but the paint does not extend all the way to the corner. Because of this, there is a vehicle that regularly parks right on the corner. This makes it nearly impossible to check for oncoming northbound traffic on Lincoln St. when you are traveling westbound on Wilson St. I would like to request that the city paint the curb yellow all the way to the corner and possibly add appropriate signage. Thank you.
Overgrown bush blocks visibility to the west
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?
At the corner of S Eastside Dr and E 2nd St, it is difficult to see to the east. The view is blocked by tree branches.
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.
Tree on the southeast corner of 4th & Rogers blocks vision looking south on Rogers. Very difficult for cars to see if other cars are coming down the hill.
