The bushes alongside the east side of Fairview have grown out and over obscuring the 'no parking' sign. Over the past two years, there has been an increase in commercial vehicles (tree trimmers/landscapers) as well as delivery trucks thinking it is okay to park in front of a stop sign on a slight hill. This is obstructing the view of the intersection and creating a dangerous situation when vehicles are forced into oncoming traffic to pull around the stopped vehicle. Combine that with the reckless drivers who are speeding on 13th street, oftentimes taking the turn from 13th to go south on Fairview at very high speeds, and the result is a dangerous situation. Please improve the line of sight. Thank you.
There is a new pole out front, requesting a light to be added. Multiple wrecks on the corner. Speed bumps would also be helpful, the street has many kids, worried about speeders. Can someone please call back if you can help.
Planet Fitness has a large temporary sign located right along the road (College Mall). I would think this would be a sign regulation violation. Thanks!
The skywalk from the 4th street garage to Fountain Square has no lights on and is not safe when walking to our cars in the evening. Please address asap for the sake of our employees! Thank you, Dr. Dale (Vue by Precision Eye Group)
There is a line of sight issue when pulling out onto N Walnut St from the alley just north of 1111 N Walnut St. There is a privacy fence lining the west edge of the sidewalk, and the trees in the yard of this address are encroaching into the sidewalk area and blocking the view looking southward.
Please do not allow food trucks on Kirkwood to block line of sight to stop signs along Kirkwood. One afternoon we witnessed at least six cars run the stop sign at Kirkwood and Lincoln because a food truck obstruction vision of the stop sign at that corner. There were a couple of near-misses with pedestrians and other cars with ROW. I love food trucks, but let's either move the stop signs further out or ban the food trucks from blocking view of the stop signs on the corners. (Keep them on the east side of each block).
On the corner of 8th and Maple overgrown vegetation is blocking the line of sight coming from the east down 8th street.
Group of teenagers threw a scooter in the middle of the road, be careful driving. Asked them to get it out of the road, they just laughed and walked away. Towards the end of Allen St near the the intersection of Allen and Patterson.
The intersection of Bloomfield road and West Allen street has terrible line of sight to turn either left or right just due to the physical lay out of that T intersection. To make matters worse the trees/brush and vegetation add to even more reduced line of sight. This needs addressed with a more permanent solution than an occasional notice of violation to the property owner which you have done in past. This is only a temporary partial solution that minimally improves line of sight. The long term answer would be to open the intersection up by allowing a person to have a right turn lane and have the street widened to allow a vehicle to position their vehicle for a right turn with out dangerously protruding out onto Bloomfield road to be able to see if you can even begin to move.
