The second question is about pruning - I have a friend over in the Crestmont area who walks to Butler Park often, and there are some trees on Fairview, where it intersects with 11th St, that just completely block the sidewalk there. It's absolutely impossible to walk on! Would it be possible for someone from the city to prune those trees? It's not simply a nuisance - you really are forced to walk directly in the street, and there's only a sidewalk on one side on that part of Fairview.

The tree brances hang so low that it is difficult to see when pulling out onto Vernal Pike from Gray Street.

No Turn on Red sign facing west on Allen is either so faded or dirty as to be difficult for east-bound drivers to see even in daytime. Have witnessed more illegal right turns there than should be normal and suspect this is because sign is so dark that drivers overlook it. This makes for a hazardous situation that you might want to correct.

Subject: Overgrown Vegetation Blocking Sightlines and Pedestrian Safety Near Bus Stop The bushes and trees along the property line are overgrown and have created a safety hazard for school children who are dropped off at the nearby bus stop and walk along the sidewalk. This is a congested area for both pedestrians and vehicles, especially during school pick-up and drop-off times. The overgrown foliage obstructs the view of drivers turning in and out of the apartment driveway, as well as drivers approaching the intersection. This condition significantly reduces visibility and obstructs a clear sight-triangle. Attached are photos, and here is a link to the street view showing the obstruction: https://maps.app.goo.gl/WDFcQqQxyT19H3jN9 I request that the City review this location and take corrective action to ensure the ROW and sight triangle are clear, restoring safe visibility for drivers, pedestrians, and schoolchildren. Thank you!

Woodlawn, alley between the Subway/apartment building and rental house. Shrubs block all traffic visibility. Pulling out onto Woodlawn, you can't see what's coming from the right/heading south. Not even pedestrians on the sidewalk can be seen. Dangerous to pull out here since you pull out blindly not knowing what's coming, but also very dangerous for pedestrians (and bikers/scooters) because we can't see them coming when we pull out. There is an IU parking lot in this alley, so it's used daily by several people who say a little prayer for safety every time they have to leave work from this location. This has been reported by colleagues more than once, but the building owner has never taken any action. Not even so much as to trim the shrubs back. In our opinion, the shrubs should be removed completely. Even by trimming, pedestrians still would not be visible.
