401 1/2 E 9th ST

Case Date:
8/2/2016

This intersection is BLIND to travelers on Grant Street. The building on the NE corner abuts the sidewalk (who allowed this to be built there???), preventing a south-bound driver from seeing cars traveling west on 9th Street, and it's almost as bad for travelers heading north. If the building at 401 E. 9th is allowed to remain standing, there should be at least a stop sign on 9th Street, since it is so difficult to see oncoming traffic.

401 1/2 E 9th ST

Case Date:
8/7/2016

Because this house is so close to the sidewalk, it is nearly impossible to see the E->W cross traffic on 9th Street when one is traveling south on Grant. An easy way to address this is to ask the owner to trim or remove the shrubs that are on the south side of the building. Of course, a better remedy would be to install a stop sign on 9th Street at this intersection, making it an 3-way (= All-way) stop.

Norma was out with a Streets crew this morning collecting leaves and called with a line of sight issue at the NW corner of Skyline Drive and Kinser Pike. She said a pine tree that sits on the resident's side of the sidewalk blocks the view both north and south when trying to pull out on the street.

Please consider removing the north-most parking space in front of "Bub's Burgers". When drivers are on 9th Street at the intersection, it is difficult to see oncoming cars approaching from the south on Morton because there is often a large vehicle parked right there blocking the view. If one space were removed - perhaps converted into a bicycle rack island - then it would be easier to see when trying to turn.

Impossible to see oncoming traffic when pulling out of the parking garage. Hazard to other drivers as we blindly have to pull out. This road and parking garage exit is a danger to society. The city needs to improve visibility.

Once again, just like last year the city allows the sidewalks on Maple Heights Bridge to become wildly overgrown, obstructing the way and line of sight for pedestrians and bicyclists. I'll bet not a single location on the east or south side is ever this bad you classist pricks

625 W 13th ST

Case Date:

The bushes alongside the east side of Fairview have grown out and over obscuring the 'no parking' sign. Over the past two years, there has been an increase in commercial vehicles (tree trimmers/landscapers) as well as delivery trucks thinking it is okay to park in front of a stop sign on a slight hill. This is obstructing the view of the intersection and creating a dangerous situation when vehicles are forced into oncoming traffic to pull around the stopped vehicle. Combine that with the reckless drivers who are speeding on 13th street, oftentimes taking the turn from 13th to go south on Fairview at very high speeds, and the result is a dangerous situation. Please improve the line of sight. Thank you.

Please assess this intersection (Fairview and 13th) at the top of a slight hill with a stop sign. The massive honeysuckle bush on the east side of Fairview obstructs view of stop sign until you are right up to the stop sign. Additionally, when you are stopped at 13th st and looking east there are oftentimes vehicles parked in front of the residence and the view to the east is blocked. I don't know how the yellow painted curbs to prohibit parking near stop signs are determined but this intersection may need something to prevent vehicles from parking right up to the stop sign. Thank you.
