Tree limbs over hanging in roadway
Tree limbs over hanging in roadway
At corner of Ralston Dr and Rockport Rd there is a line of sight hazard due to very tall foliage. It is very difficult to see traffic going NE on Rockport without sticking your car out into the road.
Weeds are so overgrown at this corner that cars turning onto Kinser from Brookdale cannot see Cars coming from the north.
Case # 204572: There have been 2 new reports of the same issue in the past week by random other people. It's an issue. The City's belief it is not impeding line of sight for traffic is dumbfounding at best. Have someone else in a regular sized vehicle drive west on Grimes from Lincoln to Washington and decide.

There is vegetation growing by the stop sign at the NE corner of Washington (southbound) and Grimes (east-west). Cars that are traveling south on Washington cannot see to their left at the stop sign with Grimes, and cars traveling west on Grimes cannot see to their right whether a car is stopped on Washington St. I have witnessed multiple near-accidents now, with many cars stopping behind the vegetation and then proceeding through the intersection without creeping forward to check for other cars on the cross-street.
Tall grass blocks the view of traffic and pedestrians at this stop. If travelling west along Grimes, the grass blocks the view of Washington to the right/north. Might not be a problem for trucks and tall SUVs but in a sedan or compact the view is completely obscured.
There is an overgrown bush that completely blocks the line of sight for someone traveling east, looking north
There is a bus stop sign at the corner of the Hardee's lot. This is next to Freddie's. There is a bush growing up around the sign that obstructs the view of traffic coming in off 3rd St. I thought it might be a right-of-way since the bush is growing up around the sign.
On the right side of E Hillside going East towards High St, between S Dorchester and S Nancy is a tree that blocks the view when trying to turn onto East Hillside from S Dorchester.
