Turns onto 3rd street from Overhill Drive are very, very dangerous! It is basically a turn into a 5 lane road. I was going southbound on Overhill Drive making a left turn onto 3rd, but I was unable to see incoming traffic from eastbound 3rd street which was being blocked by cars stopped at the stoplight on westbound 3rd st. They frequently have to slow down to let me in and sometimes I have to swerve my car into the center lane to avoid an accident. The problem with that though is that sometimes westbound people on 3rd street wanting to turn left on Woodcrest Drive speed through the middle lane and almost crash into me while I am turning left onto 3rd street. It seems like the connection between Overhill Drive and 3rd street should be blocked off because there is no traffic light onto the 5 lane road which has high traffic, and due to the stoplight at 3rd/Woodcrest, all the stopped vehicles are blocking the view of oncoming traffic.
Does the City have jurisdiction over IU? The bricks on the bricks around the Sample Gates are so shiny that in the glare creates a hazard when traveling east (on bicycle) east into campus and also in the afternoons when traveling west. Last evening I crashed head-on into another bicyclist because I couldn't see him approaching. I have mentioned this to the Landscape Architect, but was told there is nothing that can be done to lessen the glare. Is that true?
We live at 1029 S. Dunn Street and the area around the perimeter of our home on the corner of Davis and Dunn is overgrown and covering speed limit signs and access to the fire hydrant. I was hoping that the City could help cut this back as we do not have the equipment to do so. Thanks!
The zebra grasses at the edge of 1717 Circle Drive (facing Ruby Lane)are obscuring sight lines when turning onto Ruby Lane from Circle Dve.
Trash and broken fluorescent lights along public alley way. Alley runs north/south between walnut street and Washington street. Problem is located on west side of alley 1/2 block south of the project school.
Smith and Fairview, northeast corner, overgrown shrub obstructs line of sight for traffic turning onto Fairview from Smith.
2nd and fess, tree overgrown blocking stop sign
Overgrown trees along a bend on Olcott severely limits visibility along the Olcott and as we exit our driveway. Lots of pedestrians and kids around here for such overgrowth.
My next door neighbors at 2100 W 106th St have a bush in the grass area between side walk & street that grows high & wide & blocks the view from driveway to see the traffic on 106th St. It's a busy street & difficult to pull out & back out as is, but with the neighbors bush it makes it even more difficult. It blinds the view and we are concerned of getting in an accident because of it. For last few years it's grown taller & wider & we even talked to the neighbors about it about 1 1/2 yrs ago, but they didn't seem to think it was an issue & did nothing about it. I don't want to be a disgruntled neighbor, but also do not want to get in a car accident from the blinding view, trying to leave my driveway. It is very frustrating. I would like to know what the rules are for planting trees, bushes or plants on the section of grass between the sidewalk & street is & if the neighbors could be requested to remove or trim down the bush.
