Safety hazard/ line of sight Driving- pulling out on to 2nd Street, unable to see west bound traffic on 2nd street.
Last week there was another accident, homeowner continues to grow "wildflowers" and does not maintain growth to a reasonable height, vegetation blocks line of sight and is very dangerous.
Line of sight/safety hazard because of excessive growth in front of 820 W. 2nd Street. For those turning onto 2nd street from Euclid street, the vegetation blocks the line of site. This is especially dangerous because the property is near the top of a hill, which already obstructs line of sight.
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.)
Sidewalk blocked by overgrowth. When stopped on Smith line of site blocked. There is also an overgrown fire hydrant, possibly to the same address.
The overgrowth between the sidewalk and street on the NE corner of 2nd and Euclid blocks all the views of westbound traffic, creating a significant hazard. This occurs every year. The residents are apparently cultivating it. That overgrowth needs to be removed permanently.
Overgrown yard, hazardous material dumped in the yard from renovations. Nails, insulations and other materials
There is a street light that has been going off all night in front of a vacant home. I wasn't sure if you all would be able to disable it. It has been bothering individuals in the neighborhood and since there is no one living in the building we don't have another resource to contact.
