My son, Jeff Shew, lives at this address. He has contacted the city about having the side of the road mowed. His driveway is on a hill and there is no visibility coming out of the driveway. Saturday when I left this address, I had to inch my way out into the roadway to see if anyone is coming. Luckily for me, the car coming, which I could not see, slammed on their brakes and narrowly missed hitting me. Will it take an accident or death to get the city to trim this area????!!!! Please address the issue immediately and get back to me.
Not sure if this is formally in the City or not and if HAND has jurisdiction here, but this property has a very tall fence surrounding the property that comes right up to the intersection of Rayle and Fairington. It is so tall and so close to the intersection that a driver cannot see traffic coming around the corner. It is unsightly and, more importantly, dangerous.
Overgrown trees block stop sign on Kenwood and make it impossible for cars turning left onto Kenwood from Dunn Street to see traffic on Kenwood. Also overgrown trees along Dunn force people to walk in the street - combined with need to pull very far forward on Kenwood to see traffic this has led to 3 close calls (car+car; car+car; car+pedestrian). I thought I submitted in close call but never got uReport number. Perhaps my error or wrong category. Please help prevent accident & take action now that you are aware of the issue. Thank you.
I submitted a report earlier this week, but have an address and a clearer picture of the problem area. This stretch of green is along Sare Road and is the responsibility of the owner of the address given. However, due to inattenttion, entering Sare Road from Spicewood Lane is hazardous to someone driving a car heading north. If you are in a truck or SUV, your line of sight is much better. There is now a great deal of traffic on Sare Road at all times during the day, traveling above the speed limit in many cases, that pulling out onto Sare Road is scary and dangerous.
Shrub on NE corner of intersection (7th/Washington) is a bit large and blocks line of sight for vehicles on Washington waiting to cross the intersection.
Shrubbery overhanging street on West side of Morton, just north of Dodds. Overhang makes it too narrow. Especially difficult given the road closures and the amount of traffic that now has to go in and out of there for Centerstone and all the other businesses that have closed road.
Smith and Fairview, northeast corner, overgrown shrub obstructs line of sight for traffic turning onto Fairview from Smith.
Trees on either side of Terrace Drive block view of traffic when leaving Terrace Drive
Sidewalk blocked by overgrowth. When stopped on Smith line of site blocked. There is also an overgrown fire hydrant, possibly to the same address.
