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.

Pulling out of this alley either direction onto Woodlawn is a hazard, especially for pedestrians and bicyclists. To the right (on Subway/apartment bldg. side) is shrubbery that completely blocks the view of the sidewalk and street. Approaching it from the alley, we can't see if any vehicles or pedestrians are approaching from the north, traveling south. To the left of the alley is a rental house that has a shrub or tree or some other type of greenery that hangs far enough forward that we can't see what's approaching from the south, traveling north. We must ease our vehicles out into the street in order to see what's coming on Woodlawn in either direction. If we're turning right (to head north) when we ease out into the street for visibility, when we see that it's clear to turn onto Woodlawn it forces the front half of the vehicle to swing into the southbound lane. The shrub to the right of the alley (Subway building) needs to be trimmed drastically or removed altogether for safety's sake since the view of pedestrians and vehicle/bicycle traffic is completely blocked. And the tree/bush on the other side of the rental house to the left needs to be trimmed back enough for visibility. This alley is used daily by many. It contains IU parking spaces and parking for residential rental property, and U.S. Mail vehicles travel it daily for delivery. A colleague reported this to the city last year and nothing came of it.

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.

Because this house is so close to the sidewalk, it is nearly impossible to see the E->W cross traffic on 9th Street when one is traveling south on Grant. An easy way to address this is to ask the owner to trim or remove the shrubs that are on the south side of the building. Of course, a better remedy would be to install a stop sign on 9th Street at this intersection, making it an 3-way (= All-way) stop.

Can something be done about the brush that obstructs the view of traffic coming down the hill on Rhorer when sitting on Sare? Especially when trying to look West.

Hello,
I am wondering if City can install "Hidden Drive" sign on E 10th street in front of my house, 3950 E 10th street, Bloomington IN 47408. Especially, westbound on 10th would be ideal with caution sign because drivers are really fast and it is dangerous to pull car in and out from my house. If there is a sign, I hope drivers will be caution.
Thank you.

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.

NW corner of Grant/8th has shrubs that hinder view of oncoming traffic when traveling south on Grant. When you get to the intersection you have to slowly pull into it because the shrubs prevent you from seeing cars traveling east on 8th Street, and they don't have a stop sign on 8th so they just plow through the intersection. This has been a hazard off and on for years.
