For motorists traveling south on Hawthorne, a 'long haired' bush on the north side of First St, just east of Hawthorne, obscures view of cars traveling west on First St. I travel this way each day and have had close calls when surprised by a westbound car as I was turning left on First when I thought it was clear to do so.
This racecar track is still blocking the sidewalk and the original report--case #186097--hasn't progressed. Can you assign a different person to this case that might address this issue?
This racecar track has been left on the sidewalk for several days. Toys at this residence are normally a minor problem, but I had to walk in the road to give room for a dog and its owner to get by.
There needs to be a four way stop sign at this intersection. It’s currently not safe for cars driving northbound on Hawthorne, as you can’t see very far to the left and cars come flying down 1st street at high speed (way over the speed limit) due to the lack of stop signs along this stretch of the road. This in of itself is a safety issue for the many families living along the road but also for the bikers and pedestrians trying to cross along that Hawthorne greenway bike route. Likewise, when approaching this intersection going southbound on Hawthorne it’s very hard to see to the left. You end up having to nudge the nose of your car into the intersection to even see when you ca. try to cross. I’ve personally had a couple of close calls with speeding cars on 1st. This needs to be addressed soon or there is likely to be a serious accident at this intersection!
Woodlawn and Sheridan: College Pro Painters sign
A pine tree at the house on the northwest corner of the intersection at E Maxwell Lane and Woodlawn (likely 1005) is blocking the view of the stop sign as you approach from the east on Maxwell Lane. Drivers can't see the sign until only a a car-length or 2 away.
This Ditch Witch machine on a trailer has been carelessly left obstructing the entire lane of traffic on Southdowns just west of Hawthorne. Traffic is driving into the bicycle and pedestrian path with blatant disregard for those using the path. It is very dangerous and this company that left its trailer in the road should be fined a significant amount. Someone could very easily get seriously injured with this setup.
Residents of 1000/1002 East Atwater have a dunk tank in the alley behind 1002 East Atwater. This is still a platted city alleyway and not private property. Neighbors are subjected to constant “thudding” noises. We would appreciate it if compliance officers/HAND would ask them to move their apparatus out of the alley. Thank you.
