Poison ivy growing out into the sidewalk
Poison ivy growing out into the sidewalk
Sidewalk along north side of cottage grove obstructed by vegetation between Washington and Walnut.
We desperately need a crosswalk here. Kids cross here all the time, because it's a convenient place to park and cross, but without a crossing guard we're at the mercy of traffic. And they are not merciful.
Big garbage can full of glass bottles sitting on the sidewalk since July 24th.
There is vegetation growing by the stop sign at the NE corner of Washington (southbound) and Grimes (east-west). Cars that are traveling south on Washington cannot see to their left at the stop sign with Grimes, and cars traveling west on Grimes cannot see to their right whether a car is stopped on Washington St. I have witnessed multiple near-accidents now, with many cars stopping behind the vegetation and then proceeding through the intersection without creeping forward to check for other cars on the cross-street.
Case # 204572: There have been 2 new reports of the same issue in the past week by random other people. It's an issue. The City's belief it is not impeding line of sight for traffic is dumbfounding at best. Have someone else in a regular sized vehicle drive west on Grimes from Lincoln to Washington and decide.

Tall grass blocks the view of traffic and pedestrians at this stop. If travelling west along Grimes, the grass blocks the view of Washington to the right/north. Might not be a problem for trucks and tall SUVs but in a sedan or compact the view is completely obscured.
