Regarding uReport Case #183611: Nothing has been done about this issue (last communication was on 5/1/2023 by Michael Stewart). The issue: What looks like Bushes growing on the northwest corner of the intersection at High St and E Southdowns Dr are obstructing the view of cars on Southdowns wanting to pull out onto High Street. We cannot see cars in the southbound lane of High St until the last second before they reach the stop sign. Many drivers on High St don't come to a complete stop UNLESS they see a car on Southdowns. Please cut the bushes back so those of us on Southdowns can see what's coming from the north and cars on High St can see us further in advance, BEFORE they reach the stop sign.
This large pine tree has been overgrowing the sidewalk (on right side of Landmark facing 3rd) for years. I walk this block everyday, and this chokepoint, where narrow sidewalk and street blend together, pushes me dangerously close to oncoming traffic. For fast traffic heading north on Landmark, this is a blind bend for anyone approaching from other direction. A large truck or van could easily sideswipe a pedestrian trying to step around tree limbs.
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!
The berm grass is too tall and is creating a line of sight issue as you approach the intersection.
As we were driving North on the Bypass, a young man in a Jeep was coming towards us, and he didn't even slow down, just swerved and made that left turn in front of us. Every day we slow down to see if anyone is going to turn in front of us. I wish there was a light or something there. Thanks.
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.
Stop sign at the end of Kerasotes is totally covered by vegetation. Sidewalk is also covered forcing pedestrians to walk in the street.
The northwest corner of Nancy Street and Hillside Drive is overgrown in the city's right of way. It is currently unsafe for any cars heading/and turning south on Nancy Street onto Hillside Drive. Please trim the trees and bushes for a safer intersection for pedestrians, drivers, and passengers. Thank you.
