Overgrown brush (obstructing traffic view) at corner of Southdowns (south side) & Hawthorne. Believe address may be 1005 S. Hawthorne.
There are bushes on the northwest corner that obstructs the line of sight. 5th Street currently yields for traffic on Hillsdale Drive. If you are coming from the west, it is difficult to see traffic coming from the north due to the overgrown bushes. There was an accident at this intersection last night and the person hit stated that they could not see oncoming traffic.
Caller is complaining of a tree growing up a telephone pole as well as tall grass. She claims that there is guttering in the alley. She stated that it was not well cared for.
On the south east corner of N. Dunn and Old State Road 37 there are weeds that are growing up and it prevents anyone at that intersection from clearly seeing oncoming traffic coming from the right side.
At the intersection of W. 7th & N. Adams vegitation has grown up and is now causing a line of sight problem.
This complaint was left on voice mail by Becci Brock, Risk Management Dept. She received a phone call from a citizen that stated there is a line of sight problem in the east/west alley between 15th/16th Streets as you come out onto Dunn Street. The alley is overgrown with bushes and shrubs making it difficult to see oncoming traffic. She did not state which corner had the problem.
There are tree limbs and bushes overhanging the sidewalk causing a "tunnel" effect. The trees and bushes are also blocking a warning sign for the Fire Station plus a traffic regulatory sign.
Sharon from MCCSC Schools phoned in and said that the trees in the yard of the above property are hanging in to the street hitting buses and making it hard to see and drive past this house. Property is in Fritz Terrace.
This was given to the Engineering Department via Risk Management. There is a line of sight problem at the northeast corner of Clark Street & 8th Street. Clark Street stops for 8th. It is difficult for people travelling south on Clark to see oncoming traffic going west on 8th Street due to the shrubs on the northeast corner.
