Downed tree partially fell on road
Downed tree partially fell on road
The intersection of Bloomfield road and West Allen street has terrible line of sight to turn either left or right just due to the physical lay out of that T intersection. To make matters worse the trees/brush and vegetation add to even more reduced line of sight. This needs addressed with a more permanent solution than an occasional notice of violation to the property owner which you have done in past. This is only a temporary partial solution that minimally improves line of sight. The long term answer would be to open the intersection up by allowing a person to have a right turn lane and have the street widened to allow a vehicle to position their vehicle for a right turn with out dangerously protruding out onto Bloomfield road to be able to see if you can even begin to move.
Group of teenagers threw a scooter in the middle of the road, be careful driving. Asked them to get it out of the road, they just laughed and walked away. Towards the end of Allen St near the the intersection of Allen and Patterson.
The street lamps that are posted coming out of the sidewalks have been knocked out and not working for some time, but the building blocks any kind of light coming from busier streets and the light coming from 3rd Street and Allison jukebox is not enough that you can see walking down the sidewalk. As an employee of middleway house, my supervisor has given me permission to report to you that clients have experience not feeling safe and needing flashlights to navigate the sidewalk at night. The worst area is on the southwest side of the sidewalk between the gates of the new wings building down to Smith Avenue. It is also dark across the street from another building owned by middleway house, the rise at 401 South Washington. It is very dark on the west side of the street and our clients and are coming home with their children taking the bus when the bus station often is closed. Please work with whoever the property management is of that apartment building because I'm sure they need to install proper lighting for their own tenant's safety, especially on the doorways and entry points that make people feel unsafe walking by. I believe the city needs to install more lighting as well. This area has been begging increasingly unsafe, although close to 3rd St Police. Thank you for giving this the attention it deserves.
Stop sign at the end of Kerasotes is totally covered by vegetation. Sidewalk is also covered forcing pedestrians to walk in the street.
Limb down in road
At the intersection of 8th and Hillsdale there is excessice over growth so that you can't see the stop sign and it hangs so branches touch the roof of vehicle causing scratches. Additionally, you have to merge into Hillsdale to see oncoming traffic.
At the corner of Renwick and Hawksmoore, the stop signs in all three directions are obscured by tree branches.
Tree on the northwest corner of grandview and tenth st blocks view of oncoming traffic
Trees/bushes on the side of 5th st make it difficult to see traffic when turning
