Traffic light doesn't work at Rogers and Kirkwood.
Traffic light doesn't work at Rogers and Kirkwood.
New street lamp on SE corner of 12th/Lincoln is WAY too bright, much brighter and whiter than the normal orange-ish lamps on other street light fixtures in the neighborhood. This one emits a lot of glare, blinding drivers as they attempt to navigate 12th Street, and causing pain if one happens to look directly at it. Worse, it casts light far beyond the actual intersection, flooding the houses in the vicinity with unwanted light all night long, preventing people from enjoying their porches in the evenings and early mornings. If the City refuses to switch the light to a normal soft light that can be tolerated, it seems reasonable that the light can at the very least be shaded so that the intense glare is only directed downward rather than flooding the neighbors' homes in all directions with unnatural, unhealthy, and offensive light. A similar lamp was recently installed at the 12th/Dunn intersection. The people who live near that intersection are probably experiencing a similar, unwelcome annoyance.
Street light on during the day on southwest side of intersection.
Light pole has a broken plastic cover. This is not a duke light.
Weeds growing up around guard rail patients cannot see leaving the office
Trying to make a turn onto Kirkwood from Oak, it is impossible to see traffic coming from the east. There are several trees that completely block the view.
Once again, just like last year the city allows the sidewalks on Maple Heights Bridge to become wildly overgrown, obstructing the way and line of sight for pedestrians and bicyclists. I'll bet not a single location on the east or south side is ever this bad you classist pricks
Several years ago stop signs were briefly installed on 10th at Smith and it was wonderful. Then they were pulled and we never try to make a left on 10th from Smith because it's just too dangerous. Would really love a light here. But stopsigns would be awesome.
SE corner of 11th / Morton intersection has tall Tree-of-heavens growing in a clump. The clump hinders visual field for drivers going north on Morton who have stopped at the intersection and are planning to turn. Not clear if this is the responsibility of the City or the property owners. Note that Tree-of-heaven is a noxious invasive and should be removed (that is, dug up) wherever it is seen. It has spread all over town, but no one seems to notice or care. It is a terrible plant.
Please consider removing the north-most parking space in front of "Bub's Burgers". When drivers are on 9th Street at the intersection, it is difficult to see oncoming cars approaching from the south on Morton because there is often a large vehicle parked right there blocking the view. If one space were removed - perhaps converted into a bicycle rack island - then it would be easier to see when trying to turn.
