Mr. Hiate states that at the corner of Cottage Grove and Washington Streets on the North East corner there is bush or shrubbery that makes it impossible to see on coming traffic.
Anon called in. Weeds at Southeast corner of Monroe &17th -- in front of Tri North. Blocks view of cars coming down 17th St. (this land may belong to CBU please check)
There are bushes on the northwest corner that obstructs the line of sight. 5th Street currently yields for traffic on Hillsdale Drive. If you are coming from the west, it is difficult to see traffic coming from the north due to the overgrown bushes. There was an accident at this intersection last night and the person hit stated that they could not see oncoming traffic.
Caller is complaining of a tree growing up a telephone pole as well as tall grass. She claims that there is guttering in the alley. She stated that it was not well cared for.
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.
The problem is behind this house in the alley. Line of sight the trees really need trimmed here complaintant states.
Complaintant states that the problem is at an interection and he didn't know the exacy address. It is at the intersection of E. 5th St. and N. Clark St. there are trees blocking the N. view for buses that drive this area. They can not see oncoming traffic because of these trees.
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.
This was given to the Engineering Department via Risk Management. There is a line of sight problem at the northeast corner of Clark Street & 8th Street. Clark Street stops for 8th. It is difficult for people travelling south on Clark to see oncoming traffic going west on 8th Street due to the shrubs on the northeast corner.
