There is parallel parking in front of the St. Paul Catholic Center at 1413 E. 17th Street. The parking is between the two driveways. There is a line of sight problem as you try to exit either driveway. Schrader is requesting that two parking spaces be eliminated near the East driveway and one parking space next to the West driveway.
THE PROBLEM IS AT THE CORNER OF WALNUT STREET PIKE AND WINSLOW ROAD. IF YOU ARE GOING SOUTH ON WALNUT STREET PIKE AND STOP AT THE INTERSECTION WITH WINSLOW ROAD. IF YOU TRY TO LOOK TO THE EAST YOUR LINE OF SIGHT IS OBSTRUCTED BY A TREE THAT WAS PLANTED AT THE CORNER. WHEN THE TREE WAS ORIGINALLY PLANTED IT WAS VERY SMALL, BUT NOW THAT IT HAS GROWN LARGER IT OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW.
When trying to turn onto Grimes from Park you can not see on-coming traffic in either direction.
This is actually at the intersection of Gourley Pike & Arlington Road, across from 1930 W. Gourley Pike. A gentleman almost got hit due to the visibility issue at this intersection. You can barely see oncoming traffic looking to the North as you pull off of Gourley onto Arlington Road.
West of 1434 W. 11th cannot see because of tree hanging over roadway.
Concerned that the neighborhood zone parking sign in front of this address is hidden by trees, and therefore more people are parking illegally. Thanks for your help.
A resident called and complained of trees needing to be cut down and general issues seeing stop/street signs in the area. I believe the area that he is describing is the three-way stop at the back entrance to the CVS parking lot. Trees have apparently become overgrown, making the signs difficult to see.
