Fountian Drive and N Adams Street. Overgrown trees on the corner property causing a traffic line of sight problem.
Fountian Drive and N Adams Street. Overgrown trees on the corner property causing a traffic line of sight problem.
The grass on this corner has not been mowed yet this spring. It is so tall it is starting to interfere with visibility. With the increased traffic on Moores Pike due to closure of the High Street roundabout it is creating a hazard.
Large bush obstructs view from driveway to street traffic. Two automobile near misses observed.
There is a row of some type of plant right between the road and sidewalk at the top of the hill. It is blocking the ability to see cars coming up over the hill. It’s very hard to pull out left off of Howe onto Roger’s going north because of this.
When I try to pull out of the Walnut St. parking lot for switchyard park onto Walnut St. there are always big tow trucks blocking my view of traffic to the north and I think there is a big limestone sign maybe marking Switchyard Park itself blocking my view to the south, so that I have to pull out fully blocking the sidewalk to see if it is safe to turn onto Walnut. I think it might be necessary for some cars to even stick into the roadway a little before they can see traffic approaching, especially bikers on the sidewalk, which is sort of common between this lot and Miller Drive
dead bird on sidewalk
Weeds severely overgrown, line of sight at corner is impaired both for vehicles and pedestrians. Unable to walk along sidewalks. Dangerous and unsightly. Looks abandoned. Trash visible in lawn.
There is a tree that is found to be dead. Had an arborist check it out. Owner states city put tree in.
Bushes are 10 ft high causing safety issues for neighbors. Resident has been informed but has not trimmed.
There are some weeds growing up here that make it particularly difficult for drivers that are eastbound on E Smith Ave to check for northbound traffic on S Lincoln St before turning left onto Lincoln St. In the summer, this is a particularly busy area during pick-up and drop-off for the Lincoln Street Boys & Girls Club summer camps. It would also be ideal to take a look at the curb markings here to see if street parking can be adjusted to improve visibility at this intersection. Thank you!
