Bushes blocking line of sight.
Bushes blocking line of sight.
Please consider removing the north-most parking space in front of "Bub's Burgers". When drivers are on 9th Street at the intersection, it is difficult to see oncoming cars approaching from the south on Morton because there is often a large vehicle parked right there blocking the view. If one space were removed - perhaps converted into a bicycle rack island - then it would be easier to see when trying to turn.
There are tree limbs and bushes overhanging the sidewalk causing a "tunnel" effect. The trees and bushes are also blocking a warning sign for the Fire Station plus a traffic regulatory sign.
We cannot see to the north to pull safely out of our driveway. This company (Reed and Sons) has also left garbage up and down the street, making walking more hazardous.
Very dark in Park Ridge East at night. Recent crime. Can we get a street or Park light? Thank you
Ms. Schechter called in to report that if you are heading west on Gendora wanting to turn on to dunn there are large bushes in the line of sight that could cause an accident. She stated that she had spoke with the students that live there and ask them to ask there landlord to remove the bushes, she said nothing ever happend with the request. She stated that she believed the bushes were in the City Right-of-way.
Impossible to see oncoming traffic when pulling out of the parking garage. Hazard to other drivers as we blindly have to pull out. This road and parking garage exit is a danger to society. The city needs to improve visibility.
Received a complaint from a citizen that people are parking diagonally in the parallel spaces on Dunn Street at the SE corner of Dunn and 15th. There are three parallel parking spaces provided on this East side of Dunn Street. People are angle parking here to park more vehicles. This makes it difficult to turn from 15th onto Dunn as the rear end of the vehicles are in the Northbound travel lane.
At the northeast corner of 10th and Dunn, the Mr. Copy building has a "Fax" sign that is in the sight triangle. Also, there is a Herald Times newspaper box in the sight triangle. These two items obstruct the view around the corner. I called both involved parties, Mr. Seibert of Mr. Copy and Mohammed of the Herald Times and both items will be moved within the next couple of days. Citizen was wrote letter on 3-7-96 notifying him of these results.
