The weeds/bushes are growing out onto Sanders Main Street at the corner of Lena and Main. You can not see the traffic coming from the west on Lena St. Plus you have to stop in the middle of the road because of the weeds/bushes. I almost hit the mail carrier because I could not see him until he in the intersection. Lena St has the right of way.
Kirkwood/Washington landscaping completely blocks line of sight of pedestrians or vehicles. 3/4 planters at this intersection are this overgrown and block lines of sight creating a serious hazard.
Very poor visibility looking left on Moores Pike from the AMC 11 parking lot, impossible to see a good gap.
Hedges are preventing people from standing safely at the bus stop. Additionally, they are impeding line of sight and causing vehicles to pull into Graham to see east traveling traffic. Wall, is collapsing into the easement and preventing people from street parking.
There is a utility pole on the southwest corner of Grimes and Palmer. It is covered with heavy vines and overgrowth. Drivers heading North or turning onto Grimes have to pull out onto Grimes to get a view of the eastbound traffic. Pretty dangerous. Thank you for your help. L Gallagher 1225 S Palmer
Traffic calming requested to stop speeders on E Morningside or greater enforcement until
Woodlawn, alley between the Subway/apartment building and rental house. Shrubs block all traffic visibility. Pulling out onto Woodlawn, you can't see what's coming from the right/heading south. Not even pedestrians on the sidewalk can be seen. Dangerous to pull out here since you pull out blindly not knowing what's coming, but also very dangerous for pedestrians (and bikers/scooters) because we can't see them coming when we pull out. There is an IU parking lot in this alley, so it's used daily by several people who say a little prayer for safety every time they have to leave work from this location. This has been reported by colleagues more than once, but the building owner has never taken any action. Not even so much as to trim the shrubs back. In our opinion, the shrubs should be removed completely. Even by trimming, pedestrians still would not be visible.
Near corner of Woodlawn/Atwater: alley that exits onto Woodlawn between Subway/apartment bldg. and rental house is dangerous. Shrubs on corner of Subway/apartment bldg. completely block the line of sight for drivers pulling out of this alley onto Woodlawn. Nothing can be seen that is approaching from the north and heading south. Have to pull car partially into the roadway to see if anything is coming. This is a heavily used alley due to an IU parking lot, IU office building and student housing rentals whose parking can only be accessed through the alley. And the area, itself, is active. This is even more dangerous to pedestrians/bikes/scooters. We cannot see them approaching and THEY CANNOT SEE US, either. It was bound to happen sooner or later and could have ended in injury or death. Yesterday I almost hit a jogger who was heading south on the sidewalk as I was trying to pull out onto Woodlawn. I couldn’t see him approaching due to the shrubs. He also could not see me! The shrubs completely blocked his line of sight and he couldn’t see that a car was approaching. The city has known about this for at least two years and hasn’t done anything to address it. My colleagues and I have tried repeatedly to have this fixed. Three cases were found in my search, but I know that there are more because this has been ongoing for longer than two years. Case #161202, 9/18/17, second half of complaint reported this. The case was closed with no mention of it having been addressed. Case #164914, 6/21/18, and case #167848, 3/21/19, are both still open. With neither showing any update that this is being addressed. Why? How can this be left unattended for so long? A whole year for case #164914! At some point there is going to be a tragedy here and it’ll be on the city for not having addressed this after multiple hazard reports.
The trees to the left (north) of the entrance/exit from the Animal Shelter and Recycle center on S. Walnut make it very tough to see traffic coming from the north headed south on Walnut. The speed limit there is 40mph, so cars are going 45-50mph along that stretch of road. The trees with leaves on them just about totally obscure the view of traffic coming from the north when you are trying to exit from the area. Can someone go check out the line of sight from this exit and see if the trees could be trimmed back in some way?
Line of sight issue when pulling onto 17th St from Willis Dr. bushes block the view when look to the west.
