Excessive Growth
1718 E Circle DR
- Case Date:
- 8/24/2016
Mrs Kumar came in 08/30/16 and said she has spoken with HAND and PW about the overgrowth in the ditch in front of her house and they sent her to Utilities. I told her I would look at it.
yard overgrown with height of 2 to 4 foot tall grass, especially in back yard, "lots of animals back there"
Excessive growth is hiding the stop sign on High st and Southdowns. the growth also makes it very difficult to see southbound traffic on High Street from Southdowns. It is also an invasive species (Asian bush honeysuckle).
The weeds are so overgrown at this address that it is really hard to see if you would like to turn from Nancy onto Hillside. This is a yearly problem.
The northwest corner of Nancy Street and Hillside Drive is overgrown in the city's right of way. It is currently unsafe for any cars heading/and turning south on Nancy Street onto Hillside Drive. Please trim the trees and bushes for a safer intersection for pedestrians, drivers, and passengers. Thank you.
Regarding uReport Case #183611: Nothing has been done about this issue (last communication was on 5/1/2023 by Michael Stewart). The issue: What looks like Bushes growing on the northwest corner of the intersection at High St and E Southdowns Dr are obstructing the view of cars on Southdowns wanting to pull out onto High Street. We cannot see cars in the southbound lane of High St until the last second before they reach the stop sign. Many drivers on High St don't come to a complete stop UNLESS they see a car on Southdowns. Please cut the bushes back so those of us on Southdowns can see what's coming from the north and cars on High St can see us further in advance, BEFORE they reach the stop sign.
Please consider a stop sign on Southdowns and circle drive. People come up westbound on southdowns heading around the corner very fast. We have many walkers and children and it is a blind curve.
I keep getting updates about #183310 which is a 5 month old ticket for a tree about to fall onto High Street. We couldn't wait five months for the city to reply to an email let alone remove a tree that was at a 45 degree angle and resting in the crook of a dead tree. It seemed like something that should be taken care of in the calendar year. Thankfully, Duke Power is very competent and professional and they took down the tree for you. Duke closed the ticket for you so you can close it on your end. Best, EO
