Tree overgrown and blocking sidewalk and street.
Tree overgrown and blocking sidewalk and street.
The citizen at 416 W. 11th Street uses the parking lot behind his building. His access is a East/West alley off of Rogers Street. There is an evergreen tree that blocks the line of sight for those pulling out of this alley trying to go South on Rogers Street. You have to pull partially into the northbound lane on Rogers to see around the tree. The tree also impedes pedestrian traffic along the sidewalk. The tree is behind the sidewalk. Refered by Lee Huss
Intersection of 17th & Lincoln (southside she believes) there are tree limbs hanging down into the sidewalk and blocking view for pulling out onto street. Believes tree belongs to apartment complex.
bushes extend from yard across sidewalk and into street
Man reported overgrown bush blocking view of traffic, located outside the Walnut St. entrance to Walnut Park (the shopping center with Lucky's, Dollar General, etc.). Almost caused accident as driver could not see biker on sidewalk. Citizen does not want followup.
Overgrown bushes and trees on the property of 604 Swain St are not only obstructing the view of the stop sign at the corner of E University and Swain but also hits car windshields and pedestrians trying to walk along the side of the street which has no sidewalk.
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.
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.
alley by 1201 has trees growing over the sidewalk and at the corner of 16th and Madison the overgrowth is really bad
excessive growth spills out over sidewalk, line of sight issue
