bushes block view
bush prevents seeing clearly from South Grant to 2nd
Pulling out of this alley either direction onto Woodlawn is a hazard, especially for pedestrians and bicyclists. To the right (on Subway/apartment bldg. side) is shrubbery that completely blocks the view of the sidewalk and street. Approaching it from the alley, we can't see if any vehicles or pedestrians are approaching from the north, traveling south. To the left of the alley is a rental house that has a shrub or tree or some other type of greenery that hangs far enough forward that we can't see what's approaching from the south, traveling north. We must ease our vehicles out into the street in order to see what's coming on Woodlawn in either direction. If we're turning right (to head north) when we ease out into the street for visibility, when we see that it's clear to turn onto Woodlawn it forces the front half of the vehicle to swing into the southbound lane. The shrub to the right of the alley (Subway building) needs to be trimmed drastically or removed altogether for safety's sake since the view of pedestrians and vehicle/bicycle traffic is completely blocked. And the tree/bush on the other side of the rental house to the left needs to be trimmed back enough for visibility. This alley is used daily by many. It contains IU parking spaces and parking for residential rental property, and U.S. Mail vehicles travel it daily for delivery. A colleague reported this to the city last year and nothing came of it.
Concerned that the neighborhood zone parking sign in front of this address is hidden by trees, and therefore more people are parking illegally. Thanks for your help.
Line of sight from the parking lot of the adjacent apartment complex is impeded by flowers and plantings on this property.
The house on the north-west corner of Maxwell and Fess has plants so tall that it is dangerous for cars driving south on Fess to pull into the intersection.
Dead tree on NW corner of 2nd and Swain that is filled with poison ivy.
