Tree on the northwest corner of grandview and tenth st blocks view of oncoming traffic
Trees/bushes on the side of 5th st make it difficult to see traffic when turning
There was a motorcycle accident on west 3rd and Yancy today at 345 pm. It is very difficulty to make a left onto Yancy from West 3rd heading east as you pass Wynnedale to make a left onto Yancy. There is no place to pull off and its extremely difficulty to see oncoming traffic due to the trees blocking your view to oncoming traffic
On the right side of E Hillside going East towards High St, between S Dorchester and S Nancy is a tree that blocks the view when trying to turn onto East Hillside from S Dorchester.
Greenery growing between paved walk and street is so tall that driver entering Sare Road cannot see oncoming traffic.
There is a bus stop sign at the corner of the Hardee's lot. This is next to Freddie's. There is a bush growing up around the sign that obstructs the view of traffic coming in off 3rd St. I thought it might be a right-of-way since the bush is growing up around the sign.
The streetlight is out
This unnecessary, gas station-style light seems far too tall and way too bright for this context of a residential neighborhood. It shines brightly into my second-story bedroom window (see photo) and wakes me during the night. No one living on this intersection wants it here. Bright outdoor light in the summer also disrupts firefly mating, causing their population to decline. Please remove it—or replace with a much shorter, *much dimmer*, insect-friendly, amber-lit lamp post, ideally also befitting a historic neighborhood. Thank you.
The street lights need to be reangled or shielded so the light shines only onto the intersection and stops blinding the houses at the intersection. The light on the southwest corner is particularly bad due to the height of the land and the angle of the light. We issued several complaints when the intersection was re-done and nothing has ever been done. The light pollution is terrible at this intersection and there is no reason it should be brighter than even Walnut and Winslow. Please install light shields to angle the lighting properly.
10th Street crossing SR 46 east/west light remains red as long as train is crossing SR 46 south of intersection.
