Subject: Overgrown Vegetation Blocking Sightlines and Pedestrian Safety Near Bus Stop The bushes and trees along the property line are overgrown and have created a safety hazard for school children who are dropped off at the nearby bus stop and walk along the sidewalk. This is a congested area for both pedestrians and vehicles, especially during school pick-up and drop-off times. The overgrown foliage obstructs the view of drivers turning in and out of the apartment driveway, as well as drivers approaching the intersection. This condition significantly reduces visibility and obstructs a clear sight-triangle. Attached are photos, and here is a link to the street view showing the obstruction: https://maps.app.goo.gl/WDFcQqQxyT19H3jN9 I request that the City review this location and take corrective action to ensure the ROW and sight triangle are clear, restoring safe visibility for drivers, pedestrians, and schoolchildren. Thank you!
In the 300 block of E 19th St, there are NO "no parking" signs, and NO yellow curbs. As the students return to the area they just park as they want causing traffic issues. There is no way an emergency vehicle can get through the area as the road is blocked by parked cars.
Shrubs along sidewalk between 708 E. 11th (comes up as "044K" on google maps) and the empty lot immediately to the west have grown so much that it is difficult to pass, and at night it is so dark there that pedestrians cannot even see the bushes before they run right into them.
Milestone contractors replaced sidewalk. All the turf/grass repair is washed out creating a safety issue for users
There need to be signs on Rogers going south into the 2nd Street intersection because people are not very smart. Cars are going straight from the left turn lane into the shifted lane on the south side of the 2nd Street intersection on Rogers. On Friday afternoon, 4 cars from the left turn lane cut off traffic going straight from the proper lane. This is dangerous. People are bad drivers.
Near miss. During the morning, walk to school, kids were crossing high Street around 8:35 AM, there’s a crossing guard there who triggered the crosswalk lights, and stood in the middle of the road with his stop sign, but a car approaching from the north did not stop, and drove through the crosswalk around 25 to 30 mph. Talking with the cross guard, this happens quite often, because it is at the bottom of a hill with limited visibility. I highly recommend putting a stop sign at that intersection similar to everywhere else on high Street.
Resident called in to express concern about vegetation overgrowth at the intersection of Rockport Rd. and W Coolidge Dr. Resident believes property owners at this address may not be keeping up the bank for reasons related to their age. That said, the address is approximate and based on the description provided by the caller.
Overgrown pollinator garden compromising the line of sight for traffic and pedestrians.
Resident called in use of a backhoe parked on public sidewalk. They were concerned about damage to the sidewalk. No ROW permit identified related to use.
