Blue Honda van with Indiana plates 374SAL is parked in yellow zone on West 7th St just west of Maple. Obstructing visibility for cars traveling South on Maple while crossing intersection.
When turning out of E. Wilson St. onto S. Woodlawn Ave., it's nearly impossible to see oncoming traffic from the north because of a large yew bush close to the street. The bush is in the southeast corner of the lawn at the second house north of the intersection. It was difficult to see when the bush was small and has only gotten worse.

It is difficult to see if southbound cross traffic is coming when exiting the mall onto Clarise Blvd. Trees and overgrowth on the northwest part of intersection cause the problem.
Traveling northbound on Lincoln Street approaching 10th street: The right hand stop sign is not visible until the motorist is very close to the stop. Also, as you look towards 10th Street, it is difficult to tell it is a busy thoroughfare. There have been several accidents with drivers, perhaps unfamiliar with the intersection, blowing through the stop and hitting vehicles traveling on 10th Street. I didn't realize I could post a photo - I may try to get one as it would be helpful.
Corner of E, Hunter Ave, and High St. There is a Grass bush obstructing the view to the north at the stop sign. There is no street sign on this corner for E. Hunter Ave. Thanks
There is a huge sign announcing a future building project in this site. The sign obscures vision between northbound cars and pedestrian traffic. There is an elementary school right next to this intersection. An effort should be made to reduce added risk here.
Shrubs at NW corner of intersection make it very difficult to see cars travelling south on Indiana while parked at intersection on 12th heading east.
Shrubs on SW corner of intersection of Walnut and 11th make it difficult to see Walnut Street northbound traffic while waiting on 11th to turn left (north) onto Walnut.
