I am a bicyclist and must use the sidewalks occasionally because of lack of bike lanes. The large house on the NE corner of S. High and Maxwell (I believe it is 831 S. High) has large bushes that protrude onto the sidewalk and vines that cover about 1/3 of the sidewalk, creating hazards for pedestrians and bicyclists alike. The homeowners have neglected to trim the bushes and vines for years.
Twice now over the past 4 days, I have been walking in the middle of this crosswalk across High St, and a car coming the other way does not stop and drives around me, once when I had two children behind me. Both were white female drivers in their 60s/70s. Perhaps their vision does not see the white painted crosswalk area OR the yellow signs, but I'm thinking they are choosing to break the law. Mateo is a wonderful crossing guard, but he was not there either of these two times. This area needs to be repainted with high visibility/reflective paint, a blinking light on the signs, or at the very minimum, monitored by police for a while. Someone is going to get killed.
On the E First Street side of the house: 3 illegal temporary signs in a row.
Problem reported earlier (#202303). Was 'Resolved' with the justification that the vehicle is located in a driveway. A driveway seems to me the 'private property' referred to in the Municipal Code section below. The license plate is expired. Owner recently replaced the 1975 plate with a newer one, but it still is an expired plate (2016). Vehicle has been there for at least 30 years. No one in the street can remember seeing it ever been used. 15.04.020 (6), definition of an Abandoned Vehicle. A vehicle that is three or more model years old and mechanically inoperable, and is left on private property continuously in a location visible from public property for more than twenty days.
Bushes overgrown around property adjacent to Atwater make it impossible to see oncoming traffic. Drivers traveling north on Clifton must pull into traffic on Atwater to see around the bushes.
tree on 2nd St is dying and dropping branches; also presents line of sight problems for cars exiting S. Anita St.
Yard sign at intersection promoting AT&T service for >30 days now. This is not legal, correct? They had yard service today and they made sure sign was again standing tall after they finished...
Excessive speed by most motorists from high street to Sheridan drive. No traffic control measures in place , add speed bumps or a stop sign at Eastside or something . Also many deer in area and not one single deer warning sign.
'Thrasher Lawncare' sign in the grass close to the road. Hard to see on the map if this is ROW. Has been there for almost a year now.
As a pedestrian, there isn't a safe space to cross. Either a stop sign or a light-up cross walk would be immensely helpful and increase pedestrian safety.
