WHEN YOU ARE GOING NORTH ON JEFFERSON STREET APPROACHING 8TH STREET, THERE IS A BLIND HILL THAT CAUSES A DANGEROUS LINE OF SIGHT PROBLEM. CAN THE TRAFFIC DIVISION PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AREA ABOUT ADDING SIGNAGE WARNING OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS COMPLAINT WAS ORIGINALLY TAKEN IN BY JAMIE BRINEGAR, RISK MANAGEMENT, AND REFERRED ONTO THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
Original report via email. "To whom this may concern I live in Smallwood Plaza and I have noticed a regular issue and accident waiting to happen in regards to the parking garage on Morton St. When cars are parked behind smallwood, they make it difficult to see oncoming cars both drivers and cyclists leaving smallwoods parking garage. A solution I've thought of is installing a convex mirror to extend line of sight. Thank you for taking the time to read my email. Sincerely, Cody Rosenberg"
There are some weeds growing up here that make it particularly difficult for drivers that are eastbound on E Smith Ave to check for northbound traffic on S Lincoln St before turning left onto Lincoln St. In the summer, this is a particularly busy area during pick-up and drop-off for the Lincoln Street Boys & Girls Club summer camps. It would also be ideal to take a look at the curb markings here to see if street parking can be adjusted to improve visibility at this intersection. Thank you!
Hello, this is in reference to #199395 that my wife submitted. it appears that they only had covered over less than half of the bad road. Our neighbors yard was also just run over the other day and somebody came back to put hay on it. Our curb also gets run over and has damaged our trees before. This is to ask if we could put some sort of guard rail or not a rail, but a guard pole to keep cars off of our properties. And to report the unfinished roadwork. Thanks for your time. I hope this voice to text isn’t too bad.
Large hedge on corner is blocking view. Dangerous for turning out of Providence Ct.
there is a site distance issue at Old SR 37 N and Business 37.
This intersection is BLIND to travelers on Grant Street. The building on the NE corner abuts the sidewalk (who allowed this to be built there???), preventing a south-bound driver from seeing cars traveling west on 9th Street, and it's almost as bad for travelers heading north. If the building at 401 E. 9th is allowed to remain standing, there should be at least a stop sign on 9th Street, since it is so difficult to see oncoming traffic.
Because this house is so close to the sidewalk, it is nearly impossible to see the E->W cross traffic on 9th Street when one is traveling south on Grant. An easy way to address this is to ask the owner to trim or remove the shrubs that are on the south side of the building. Of course, a better remedy would be to install a stop sign on 9th Street at this intersection, making it an 3-way (= All-way) stop.
The alley half way between Cottage Grove & 11th on to N. Grant . There is a problem with evergreen trees that are overgrown on the extreme north west corner of 401 E. Cottage Grove. You can't see to pull out of the alley , when you are turning left onto Grant ( the est side of the road.)
