Weeds, trees and overgrowth.
Heilig-Meyers Furniture Co. Complaint stated that 2nd floor exits are continually blocked.
Bushes (southwest corner) obstructing view of traffic at the intersection of E. 4th St. and S. Bryan.
Bushes are overgrown and obstructing the view for traffic. The bushes are almost covering the stop sign.
This complaint came through HAND. The citizen stated that as he is going south on Jefferson Street anc comes to the intersection with 5th Street, there is a large bush that obstructs the line of sight. Currently 5th Street stops for Jefferson Street. The citizen did not state which corner but I used 100 N. Jefferson as the address.
Complaintant states that the problem is at an interection and he didn't know the exacy address. It is at the intersection of E. 5th St. and N. Clark St. there are trees blocking the N. view for buses that drive this area. They can not see oncoming traffic because of these trees.
Overgrowth of bushes in the alley between S. Jefferson and Bryan Ave. Traveling west in the alley obstructs view of traffic.
There are shrubs at the northeast corner of Bryan Avenue and 5th Street that cause a line of sight problem. Traffic Division at one time trimmed these bushes back but citizen states that there is still a problem. Note: This area is a 4-way stop.
There are bushes on the northwest corner that obstructs the line of sight. 5th Street currently yields for traffic on Hillsdale Drive. If you are coming from the west, it is difficult to see traffic coming from the north due to the overgrown bushes. There was an accident at this intersection last night and the person hit stated that they could not see oncoming traffic.
This was given to the Engineering Department via Risk Management. There is a line of sight problem at the northeast corner of Clark Street & 8th Street. Clark Street stops for 8th. It is difficult for people travelling south on Clark to see oncoming traffic going west on 8th Street due to the shrubs on the northeast corner.
