THE BUSHES AT THE BACK OF THE THE PROPERTY ARE OVERGROWN NEAR THE ROADWAY. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE HOUSE BEHIND THE ABOVE ADDRESS TO PULL OUT ONTO THE STREET. MANY TIMES THEY HAVE TO GET OUT OF THEIR VEHICLES TO DIRECT TRAFFIC. (NOTE: THIS WAS CALLED IN TO "HAND" AND REFERRED TO ENG.)
Wild flowers are blocking the line of sight on the South East corner of the Stull Grimes intersection.

This complaint was left on voice mail by Becci Brock, Risk Management Dept. She received a phone call from a citizen that stated there is a line of sight problem in the east/west alley between 15th/16th Streets as you come out onto Dunn Street. The alley is overgrown with bushes and shrubs making it difficult to see oncoming traffic. She did not state which corner had the problem.
I have lived on South Park Avenue for over a year and have found that the brush and foliage at 1200 South Park Ave (at the corner of South Park Ave and Grimes) is becoming a hazard for those turning out of South Park onto Grimes. The foliage has become so overgrown that it is very difficult to see the traffic coming from the left when you are stopped at the intersection and about to turn onto Grimes. You have to edge out quite far without being able to see the oncoming traffic. It is also very difficult to see South Park Ave. (and any potential cars turning out of the street) when you are traveling East along Grimes. The inhabitants of the home are not known within the neighborhood and so no one feels comfortable asking the owners/tenants to trim their trees and foliage. I am concerned that as the foliage continues to grow unabated that there could be a serious accident at this intersection. Not only is this a concern for those of us who live on South Park Ave., but for those who drive down our road each day to pickup and drop off their children at Templeton Elementary.
Dricoll Street 'T's" into Henderson Street. There is a line of sight problem for those turning off of Driscoll onto Henderson Street. There are tree limbs that partially obstructs the view of oncoming vehicles. The problem is looking both directions but mainly to the North. The yard on the Northwest corner needs to be mowed and has been referred onto HAND.
