There is a huge sign announcing a future building project in this site. The sign obscures vision between northbound cars and pedestrian traffic. There is an elementary school right next to this intersection. An effort should be made to reduce added risk here.
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.
On the South East corner of Grant & Grimes Ln, the neighbor's bushes are blocking the view of traffic. They cannot see to get out of their driveway.
Trash and broken fluorescent lights along public alley way. Alley runs north/south between walnut street and Washington street. Problem is located on west side of alley 1/2 block south of the project school.
MCGLOCKLIN IS A CROSSING GUARD AT THE INTERSECTION OF 2ND & HIGH STREET. ON THE SW CORNER, THERE IS A HOUSE WITH A CHAIN LINK FENCE WITH BUSHES(THE BUSHES ARE ON THE INSIDE OF THE FENCE LINE). THE BUSHES ARE OVERGROWN CAUSING MCGLOCKLIN NOT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE "WALK/WAIT" SIGNAL AT THIS INTERSECTION TO ALLOW THE CHILDREN TO CROSS. THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE IS: RACHID MAIDI @ 336-5640.
owner put a fence up around their house and presumably didn't get a permit because it's right on the edge of their property, almost touching the road. Because it's so close to the road, it cuts off the line of sight for anyone approaching the four way stop sign. If you're coming from the main road you have to slowly edge forward to see past their fence to see if traffic is coming.
MS. VAUGHN STATED THAT THE RESIDENTS AT 412 S HIGH PARK IN A GRAVEL PULL OFF AND THAT IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR VEHICLES WHO ARE TURNING LEFT FROM ATWATER ON TO HIGH STREET AND IT MAKES IT DIFFICLUT FOR HER TO SEE WHEN EXITING HER DRIVEWAY.
Line of sight obstruction at the corner of White Tail and Wiley Farms. Reported by phone, entered into uReport for tracking purposes.
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.
Line of sight problem, If pulling off of Palmer on to Hillside you can not see around a tree.
