Ms. Vent states that the parking needs to be removed from Hawthone and Hunter Ave. Ms. Vent stated that she witnessed an accident there recently and that with allowed in this area it makes it impossible to see oncoming traffic. If removing the parking is not an option she would like to have a stop sign installed. (the address is an approximate for entering into the complaint system.
There is roadway overgrowth next to 1100 N. Lincoln. There is also a problem with overgrowth in the alleyway entrance btwn 1119 & 1000 N. Lincoln. There is a dead limb in the alleyway very high up. One limb fell in front of her car while driving down the alley.
At the intersection of Walnut Street Pike and Winslow road (on the Pizza Hut property) there is an evergreen tree that obstructs the line of sight for traffic.
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.
Citizen called the Street Department to report a line of sight problem at 17th Street and Monroe Street on the South side.
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?
