Bushes growing along sidewalk block line of sight turning out of alley
Bushes growing along sidewalk block line of sight turning out of alley
Mayor's office received a complaint regarding the alley behind this rental property. Bushes are overgrown into the alley making accessibility and site an issue.
There is a line of sight issue when pulling out onto N Walnut St from the alley just north of 1111 N Walnut St. There is a privacy fence lining the west edge of the sidewalk, and the trees in the yard of this address are encroaching into the sidewalk area and blocking the view looking southward.
There is vegetation growing by the stop sign at the NE corner of Washington (southbound) and Grimes (east-west). Cars that are traveling south on Washington cannot see to their left at the stop sign with Grimes, and cars traveling west on Grimes cannot see to their right whether a car is stopped on Washington St. I have witnessed multiple near-accidents now, with many cars stopping behind the vegetation and then proceeding through the intersection without creeping forward to check for other cars on the cross-street.
Case # 204572: There have been 2 new reports of the same issue in the past week by random other people. It's an issue. The City's belief it is not impeding line of sight for traffic is dumbfounding at best. Have someone else in a regular sized vehicle drive west on Grimes from Lincoln to Washington and decide.

Tall grass blocks the view of traffic and pedestrians at this stop. If travelling west along Grimes, the grass blocks the view of Washington to the right/north. Might not be a problem for trucks and tall SUVs but in a sedan or compact the view is completely obscured.
BUSHES OVERGROWN CAUSING A PROBLEM TRYING TO PULL OUT ONTO GRIMES LANE. THE GENTLEMAN ORIGINALLY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH "HAND" ABOUT THE BUSHES AND HIGH GRASS. THE OWNERS MOWED THE GRASS BUT THE BUSHES HAVE OVERGROWN ONTO THE SIDEWALK AND THE GENTLEMAN CANNOT GET HIS WHEELCHAIR AROUND THEM.
Citizen states that the trees/shrubs on the southeast corner of Huntington & Hillside causes a line of sight problem for those turning off of Huntington onto Hillside.
Very tall flowers in planter at 6th/College (on the Subway side) block line of sight of vehicles creating a hazard.
