Low-growing tree branches causing line of sight issue at Stands Road and Rogers Street. Ms. Baker would be happy to show where the exact problem lies.
A Bush is overgrown at the intersection causing a visibility problem.
There is a line of sight problem when you pull off of Southern Drive onto Walnut Street. There is a wall with weeds/shrubs/vines that block the driver's view.
Lady from the Flower Bowl called and there are weeds and brush that are making it difficult for people to see when exiting their parking lot on Dodds. She stated that she contacted the owner of the grease pit and was told that the weeds would be cut. She stated that traffic coming from College back to Walnut on Dodds moves very fast and the this line of sight problem she is afraid that someone will get hurt.
There is a large bush at the corner of Grant & Southern Dr. which is impairing the view of the street for drivers in that intersection.
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.
There was construction at (Wheels Auto Sales) 624 S. Walnut street and ended about a week ago to fix a sink hole. There were cones left at the location (Wheels Auto Sales) and the owner of Wheels Auto took the cones and placed them on front of business sign causing blind spot for our customers trying to leave our business.
414 S. Meadowbrook Drive has landscaping that is causing significant line-of-sight problems at a curve in the road. The usable width of the roadway is also affected. Neighbors are hoping that the city can contact the owners about cutting back the vegetation.
