There is a line of sight problem at the intersection of Allen Street & Bloomfield Road. The trees and bushes are overgrown causing a problem for those coming off of Allen Street onto Bloomfield Road.
The alley that runs from 2nd St. to the Harmony School parking lot continues north across Hunter and runs to Atwater. There is another alley that runs from Faculty down to Woodlawn (just south of Subway). Those two alleys intersect. The problem is that the intersection is completely overgrown with bushes and vines, which makes it extremely hard for someone headed west to see anyone coming from Hunter. And since so many Harmony kids use that alley to get to Subway, I fear that one of them will get hit, especially now that there are several rental houses with parking off that alley. Could you either have someone trim the overgrowth back or ask the homeowners to do it? If you come down from Faculty, you will see how badly obstructed the view is of anyone coming up the alley from Hunter. (And if you use the alley off of Hunter, be prepared to get scratches on your vehicle by the bushes growing into the alley.)
913 W. 11th St. NOT 1001. I can't get the GIS to point to 913. Photo taken 6/20 This still has not been cut back despite Jo Stong saying that it would. Still can't see safely to turn from Orris to 11th St. The wheelchair ramp is also obstructed. You seem to have an issue getting Michael to respect the city.
Tree overgrown and blocking sidewalk and street.
There are tree branches that hang out into the street that obstruct the line of sight. This is as people come out of the second driveway out of Sherwood Hills Condos.
I leave near the corner of South Grant Street and East Allen Street. When traveling south on Grant, there is a stop sign at Allen St where it is truly impossible to safely see if any traffic is coming from the West. The vegetation is so overgrown on this corner that it goes several meters beyond the stop sign. Since there is no stop sign for drivers traveling East or West on Allen, drivers on Grant Street have to inch out slowly halfway into the intersection until gaining any visibility around the vegetation. Please send somebody to remove the vegetation on this corner or I'll end up doing it myself. It's far too dangerous for a road where there are almost always cyclists which wouldn't be as easily seen or heard as a car.
pulling out and turning left (East) there is a large bush and telephone pole that are in the line of sight ans two accidents have happened that this location. Sarah called months ago and Sam Dean went out and told her that he would take care of it but it has not been taken care of yet.
Mrs. Burch called the HAND Dept. VERY upset over an overgrown bush and weeds as a line of sight problem at the corner of Dodds and Morton. She stated that the branches off of the bushes that are overgrown scrached her car. She stated that the City should pay for her car, and that she is going to take the weeds and branches to the Mayors office and dump them on his desk. She would like a call back on this ASAP. She stated that she never got a call back the last time she placed a complant.
