The yard is so overgrown that it is hard to see as you turn off Nancy onto Hillside.
I have called 2 times to get these 2 separate line of sight safety issues resolved. I have also filed a previous uReport case # 172894. However nothing has been done to resolve these 2 issues. I even included photos on original uReport. So I will file another uReport. The first public safety traffic issue is at the T-intersection of Allen Street and Bloomfield Rd. as you approach Bloomfield Rd. and are looking to your right. This intersection has bushes/small trees/over growth ect... and blocks your view completely. The second issue with line of sight public safety traffic hazard is when you exit Hilltop Court Apts. 1305 West Allen St. and look to your right and again your line of sight is blocked by over growth both these areas especially the first one needs trimmed way back so this problem doesn't come right back in 30 days. I am curious as to why no one has even returned a call to my cell or emails me back with the resolution ect.. Rest assured I will continue to pursue this up the ladder until it is resolved. Thank you
I have lived on South Park Avenue for over a year and have found that the brush and foliage at 1200 South Park Ave (at the corner of South Park Ave and Grimes) is becoming a hazard for those turning out of South Park onto Grimes. The foliage has become so overgrown that it is very difficult to see the traffic coming from the left when you are stopped at the intersection and about to turn onto Grimes. You have to edge out quite far without being able to see the oncoming traffic. It is also very difficult to see South Park Ave. (and any potential cars turning out of the street) when you are traveling East along Grimes. The inhabitants of the home are not known within the neighborhood and so no one feels comfortable asking the owners/tenants to trim their trees and foliage. I am concerned that as the foliage continues to grow unabated that there could be a serious accident at this intersection. Not only is this a concern for those of us who live on South Park Ave., but for those who drive down our road each day to pickup and drop off their children at Templeton Elementary.
Bushes at the west end of the alley are too tall and need to be trimmed back for drivers to see to exit the alleyway.
Unable to see oncoming traffic while stopped at stop sign on O'Brian Place facing Meadow Lane. Large bush on the corner blocks line of sight.
Overgrown shrubbery causing line of sight issue at corner of 11th and N. Walnut. It's growing at base of business sign. Position of shrubbery causes cars turning left onto one way to pull up pretty far to see and risk being hit by cars turning onto 11th street.
The southwest corner of Lexington and Longview has a series of small trees and honeysuckle vines that obstruct the view of traffic. I was headed north on Lexington, stopped at the corner, and attempted to turn left onto Longview. I almost hit a car that was traveling east on Longview because of those trees and vines. This is an annual issue when the foliage grows.
This house is surrounded by an alley on the north side and an alley on the west side, just behind the Girls and Boys Club. It is impossible to see over the weeds to navigate the intersection of the alleyways. Further down the alley between the Girls/Boys Club and the building to the north of it, which is very narrow, the weeds are beginning to get very tall and will soon scrape the sides of vehicles traveling through. Thanks for your help!
Overgrown bunches of tall grass obscure vision for cars crossing E First at Hawthorne.
