7th Street, east of campus, has a stretch where the foliage of a yard has overgrown into the eastbound bicycle lane. (At some points during the summer, it was long enough to brush the sides of vehicles NOT in the bike lane).
This causes bicycles to veer out into the single vehicular traffic lane, and I've seen several near misses.
Excessive Growth

There is an overgrown tree at the intersection of Sare Road and Southern Oaks Drive that is blocking the "STOP" sign.
Originally, the tree that was planted there broke, and many new volunteers grew up in that spot. The homeowners at that site have not cut them back. I think they may not realize that it would be okay for them to do so.
My family and I had a similar thing happen to one of the oak trees in the tree-row in the front of our house. We chose one of the "volunteers" and cut away the others, so that now we have a single oak tree in that spot, just as we did originally. We actually used the broken tree as a support for the new tree as it was growing.
Thanks for your help.

My street does not have a proper street sign. Since it is a small culdisac branching off a main road with several residences. It seems like this could be an issue for ambulance/emergency workers who need to find our area. The street is West Cascade Ave. off of Gourley Pike.

It appears that a problem with the traffic signal system at the S. College Mall Rd. and E Covenanter Dr has caused the signal system to be reprogrammed for repeated phases with no pedestrian lights. Since the input sensors are not working, the pedestrian buttons do not work. The phase allowing auto crossing of College Mall Rd is much to short for pedestrians to get across. Until the complete repairs are made, the signal needs to be reprogrammed with a pedestrian phase. The intersection is very dangerous for pedestrians even with working pedestrian signals. With the current programming, the intersection is effectively unusable for pedestrians and very dangerous for those pedestrians who must cross (such as to catch the bus). This matter is an emergency and needs to be fixed immediately.

YIELD sign on Adams as you are going north on Adams and preparing to turn east on Kirkwood is facing AWAY from the street. It is facing the cemetery and there is no cemetery exit at that location. This sign should be turned so it faces the oncoming traffic-- vehicles going north on Adams and turning right on Kirkwood.
