When you are trying to pull from Burks Drive onto S. Walnut St. Pike the weeds to the north are so high you can't see south bound traffic without pulling out into Walnut Street Pike.
The problem is on the southeast corner of Adams & Woodhill. The caller stated there is a line of sight problem if you are pulling off of Woodhill onto Adams and you are looking to the south. There are weeds that block the view. The City has been out before to cut this area.
Resident states there is a line of sight problem due to vegetation on the northeast corner of 7th Street and Waldron Street.
There is a shrub on the southwest corner of Fritz and Gilbert that is into the roadway. Traffic Division has trimmed back as much as they could to make the stop sign more visible but the shrub needs to be trimmed back more.
There is parallel parking in front of the St. Paul Catholic Center at 1413 E. 17th Street. The parking is between the two driveways. There is a line of sight problem as you try to exit either driveway. Schrader is requesting that two parking spaces be eliminated near the East driveway and one parking space next to the West driveway.
THE PROBLEM IS AT THE CORNER OF WALNUT STREET PIKE AND WINSLOW ROAD. IF YOU ARE GOING SOUTH ON WALNUT STREET PIKE AND STOP AT THE INTERSECTION WITH WINSLOW ROAD. IF YOU TRY TO LOOK TO THE EAST YOUR LINE OF SIGHT IS OBSTRUCTED BY A TREE THAT WAS PLANTED AT THE CORNER. WHEN THE TREE WAS ORIGINALLY PLANTED IT WAS VERY SMALL, BUT NOW THAT IT HAS GROWN LARGER IT OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW.
When trying to turn onto Grimes from Park you can not see on-coming traffic in either direction.
This is actually at the intersection of Gourley Pike & Arlington Road, across from 1930 W. Gourley Pike. A gentleman almost got hit due to the visibility issue at this intersection. You can barely see oncoming traffic looking to the North as you pull off of Gourley onto Arlington Road.
During heavy traffic, visibility can be very poor for vehicles traveling southbound on Washington Street and attempting to cross or merge onto 10th street. Tonight I witnessed an accident caused by a white suv attempting to turn eastbound onto 10th from washington. The vehicle was promptly hit after turning onto 10th by a car that was most likely traveling far too fast. A stop sign at the intersection would make things a lot safer! I'm really concerned a pedestrian is going to injured at some point at this crossing.
