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.
There is a huge sign announcing a future building project in this site. The sign obscures vision between northbound cars and pedestrian traffic. There is an elementary school right next to this intersection. An effort should be made to reduce added risk here.
Bushes overgrown at the northwest corner of Gorden Pike and S Walnut Street make it hard to see southbound oncoming vehicles.
would like trees trimmed away from stop sign. Would also like a stop bar painted on the street.
The line of sight problem is at the intersection of Heather Drive and the east leg of Laurel Court. When you travel south on Laurel Court and approach the intersection with Heather Drive, there is no stop sign on the right side and the stop sign on the left side is obstructed by tree branches. Please see attached letter.
There is brush that has overgrown at the southwest corner of Brownridge Road and S. Smith Road. The brush has come out onto the roads. The citizen knew that the City trims back the brush if it is in the city right-of-way.
Trees are blocking stop sign as you head south on Sare road. This morning was the 2nd time I have seen a car blow through that spot without even a delayed acknowledgement of the sign. **Main pedestrian way to Olcott Park and near Jackson Creek!!!
from Walker to Euclid has lots of excessive growth blocking views to pull out of driveways. some bushes are growing into the street. the whole area needs to be looked at, even behind the properties.
Sidewalk blocked by overgrowth. When stopped on Smith line of site blocked. There is also an overgrown fire hydrant, possibly to the same address.
