I work in the office at mccsc transportation. Bus drivers are asking if trees/bushes can be trimmed at the railroad tracks just past W 10th St on N Adams St to help with their visibility. They're not able to see clearly when stopping there. Thank you for your help.
At Thornton Dr. and Henderson St. there is a line of sight issue looking south down Henderson while on Thornton. The stop sign on Thorton is back from the intersection and a driver cannot see users of the multi-use trail or traffic coming from the south on Henderson without pulling forward to the point of the vehicle being into the crossing for the multi-use path on Thornton. This has been a problem for a while. Today, I was stopped at the stop sign and about to slowly move forward to the point where I could see traffic when a bicycle heading north on the multi-use path coming down the hill from Miller along Henderson at a decent speed went flying by in front of my car without regard to the cross traffic pulling out. I'm not sure who would end up at fault when a cyclist goes over the hood of a car there in such a scenario but it seems better if the City can address the problem immediately instead of wait for someone to get hurt. I have seen similar issues with scooters coming down the hill there.
Please consider removing the north-most parking space in front of "Bub's Burgers". When drivers are on 9th Street at the intersection, it is difficult to see oncoming cars approaching from the south on Morton because there is often a large vehicle parked right there blocking the view. If one space were removed - perhaps converted into a bicycle rack island - then it would be easier to see when trying to turn.
The stop sign on the northeast corner is set very far to the north of the street; I’ve witnessed many cars ignoring it because it is difficult to see. I suggest moving it into the raised planter bed, much like how the stop sign on the southwest corner is placed. The problem is made worse when a tall vehicle is parked near the corner, which makes the stop sign impossible for west bound traffic to see.
Hi there, we have a tree leaning towards our property that needs removed before it snaps and seriously damages our house/fence. It appears to be on city land.
owner put a fence up around their house and presumably didn't get a permit because it's right on the edge of their property, almost touching the road. Because it's so close to the road, it cuts off the line of sight for anyone approaching the four way stop sign. If you're coming from the main road you have to slowly edge forward to see past their fence to see if traffic is coming.
The large bushes on the Graham side of the property block line of sight for southbound drivers on Madison St. They need a serious trimming.
The stop sign on the NW corner of Morningside Drive and Park Ridge Road is obscured by tree branches in front of the sign.
Speed limit 25MPH sign was placed behind tree (approx 4 feet) that grew (35 yrs) and old Welcome / Leaving, Hyde Park- Brick Columns. Both sides of roads are obstructed view. May be part of the speeding problem. Request: 1) sign be moved to the appropriate place or 2) Tree and Column removed ...so that motorists can view signs from appropriate distance, IAW code.
The grasses at the south corner of High and Meadowbluff are blocking the view to exit Meadowbluff, making an already difficult turn even more dangerous. We spoke to our neighbor and she let us know that she has filed a complaint with the city as the area with the long grass is not safe to mow, due to the debris left by the construction of the new city path. Could this debris please be removed by the city asap, so this area can be safely mowed to make exiting our cul-de-sac safe again. Thank you.
