414 S. Meadowbrook Drive has landscaping that is causing significant line-of-sight problems at a curve in the road. The usable width of the roadway is also affected. Neighbors are hoping that the city can contact the owners about cutting back the vegetation.
Line of sight obstruction at the corner of White Tail and Wiley Farms. Reported by phone, entered into uReport for tracking purposes.
There is no yellow curb north of the parking garage at the new Urban Station apartments on Washington, meaning that cars can park right up to the entrance. This makes the field of vision for vehicles leaving the garage very poor. Compounding this is the issue of cars briefly double parking alongside the car immediately north of the exit to pick up and drop off tenants.This is especially problematical because there is a bike lane right up against the parked cars. As I was typing this, I saw a car nearly hit one cyclist in the bike lane and two children riding on the sidewalk. I have also seen a few close calls between vehicles. The only thing preventing accidents at this point is the large moving vehicles parking in the bike lane, forcing bikes to move over to where they can be seen. A yellow curb to the north would greatly help expand visibility for drivers exiting the parking garage. Additionally, now that riding on the sidewalk is legal and I just saw two children nearly hit by a car exiting from the garage, I think it would be prudent to have a mirror installed so drivers can see the sidewalk before exiting--not sure if this would be a city issue or an issue with Urban Station itself. Being that these apartments have been occupied for only four days and I have witnessed one accident, three or four vehicular close calls, and two vehicle-bicycle close calls, I hope the city gives this problem area the attention it needs. As is, it is only a matter of time before a serious collision occurs.
MS. VAUGHN STATED THAT THE RESIDENTS AT 412 S HIGH PARK IN A GRAVEL PULL OFF AND THAT IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR VEHICLES WHO ARE TURNING LEFT FROM ATWATER ON TO HIGH STREET AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICLUT FOR HER TO SEE WHEN EXITING HER DRIVEWAY.
Resident stated that when you pull out of Deckard Drive onto 10th Street you cannot see traffic coming from the west because of a tree branch. Can someone check this out? Thanks
owner put a fence up around their house and presumably didn't get a permit because it's right on the edge of their property, almost touching the road. Because it's so close to the road, it cuts off the line of sight for anyone approaching the four way stop sign. If you're coming from the main road you have to slowly edge forward to see past their fence to see if traffic is coming.
Mr. Parrish states that a overgrown tree and bush blocks the driver's line of sight going west on East 8th.
MCGLOCKLIN IS A CROSSING GUARD AT THE INTERSECTION OF 2ND & HIGH STREET. ON THE SW CORNER, THERE IS A HOUSE WITH A CHAIN LINK FENCE WITH BUSHES(THE BUSHES ARE ON THE INSIDE OF THE FENCE LINE). THE BUSHES ARE OVERGROWN CAUSING MCGLOCKLIN NOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE "WALK/WAIT" SIGNAL AT THIS INTERSECTION TO ALLOW THE CHILDREN TO CROSS. THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE IS: RACHID MAIDI @ 336-5640.
