The vegetation along Smith Ave from Euclid to Walker is out of control AGAIN. It overgrows into both sides of Smith so cars get scratched. If you want to turn onto Smith from Buckner you CANNOT see East on Smith to know if a car is coming West on Smith. Going East and West on Smith, the same problem occurs both directions on Davisson. This is a chronic problem every year. I believe Smith is platted as 16 feet wide, but there is definitely not that much clearance. I also believe there is city law that says vegetation should be cut back 3 feet from the street edges. If owners would cut their vegetation back one foot from the paved edge of Smith it would be a lot better. I'd appreciate contact from you after you look into this. Thank You!! (Sorry I don't have a photo I can upload right now. If you want one, let me know.)
Trees on either side of Terrace Drive block view of traffic when leaving Terrace Drive
High grass blocking the view of coming traffic on the corner of burks drive and walnut street pike.
The corner of 3400 S Walnut Street Pike and East Burks Drive is not safe. Weeds and Tree by Mail Box block oncomming view of traffic coming from the south. It's a hill and if you want to pull out from the stop sign, it's very hard to see on coming cars. I use that corner all the time. Unsafe. I live off Burks Drive on 3506 S. Burks Ct.
At the intersection of 4th & Grant, Contractors during the Hidden River Project failed to paint a yellow curb on the north side of the street. I see cars parking here (and today) and it’s not a meter parking spot. Can the city come and paint this in hope it will deter people from parking here. Too close to the intersection.
Overgrown yard, hazardous material dumped in the yard from renovations. Nails, insulations and other materials
Shrub on NE corner of intersection (7th/Washington) is a bit large and blocks line of sight for vehicles on Washington waiting to cross the intersection.
The evergreen bush on the NW Corner of 7th and Morton needs to be removed or severely trimmed. You cannot see pedestrians standing on that corner.
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).
