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.
The problem is behind this house in the alley. Line of sight the trees really need trimmed here complaintant states.
Complaintant states that the problem is at an interection and he didn't know the exacy address. It is at the intersection of E. 5th St. and N. Clark St. there are trees blocking the N. view for buses that drive this area. They can not see oncoming traffic because of these trees.
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.
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.
Sight distance problem at the southeast corner of N. Walnut Street and 12th Street. There are bushes that obstruct the view for west bound traffic on 12th Street at Walnut Street.
Tree limbs hanging over street on east side of Summit St between Central and 11th Street. It is difficult to drive down street when someone is parked on the west side.
Ms Lucas is concerned about people parking on BOTH sides of Covenanter on East side of 4-way stop--works at Kroger's in Jackson Creek and has been experiencing problems pulling out onto Covenanter--she's almost been hit twice b/c can't see around parked cars. Employees have to park in back, so have to exit onto Covenanter near Eaton Mews. Employees have noticed problem since new business, Dial America, moved in--problem is worse in the evening. She said she didn't notice any signs.
Mr. Geels received a letter for a line of sight problem for his property at 4th St. & Bryan Ave. (See Action #11659). He complained thta the city does not enforce the 25' sight triangle consistently and sited the Southeast corner of 4th & Bryan.
Bushes have grown into the road between the Bigfoot drive and 125 N. Park Ridge Rd. drive. The owners of the property need to be determined. Bigfoot is willing to trim the bushes if it is their property as per Lester Anders.
