Trying to turn into Rogers from Dixie is dangerous because the shrubs on the corner are blocking the view.

I live beside this intersection at E Smith Ave and S Dunn St. There's a stop sign for crossing S Dunn St from E Smith Ave, but not for crossing E Smith Ave from S Dunn. Over the past several years, I have heard countless cars screech their tires as they brake, honk at one another, and witnessed one collision, all at this very intersection. The traffic flowing south on Dunn St usually drives quickly, as they're coming down Atwater Ave, and have no visual line of sight for cars crossing on E Smith Ave until you're essentially entering the intersection. Likewise, cars on E Smith Ave have to pull into the intersection to clear cars blocking the line of sight on S Dunn. This results in an unsafe intersection. Either cars must be restricted from blocking the line of sight on either street, or a stop sign must be placed at the crossing on S Dunn St through E Smith Ave, creating a 4-way stop. Thanks for hearing my concern.
There is a half-fallen-down branch in the tree plot in front of 212 E. 2nd Street. The leafy branches of that still-connected branch make it hard for cars to have good visibility when making left-hand turns from S. Lincoln onto 2nd Street. That branch needs to be removed before there is an accident.
Deep mud and water covering the sidewalk for years, this is a safety hazard that is equivalent to snow and ice that is routinely ticked for at other residences in the area!
I’m unable to see cars coming from the right at 3625 W Arlington rd. when I’m pulling out because of tall grasses on a hill along the road. Does the city cut it down? I have a baby grandson I take care of and I can’t see the traffic coming from the right.
Coming out of the Cedar Chase neighborhood and looking at Leonard Springs Rd….on the right side of road the weeds and shrub starting to grow and block the view of oncoming traffic. This happens on an annual basis.
Why is parking allowed do close to the intersection at 16th & Lincoln. There is an old abandoned car there with a tarp on it that this person is using city property to store his vehicle on. Why does he get special treatment? This has been going on for years.
I live on the west side of South Park Ridge Rd, the block between Saratoga St. and E. 46. There is a very slight curve on this block (west side of the street) which is just enough to create a visibility issue for me when attempting to pull-out of my driveway. Myself and others have had some close calls when exiting my drive. To add to the issue, cars traveling this stretch consistently travel SIGNIFICANTLY faster than the posted speed limit. Wondering if there might be some kind of street signage alerting to "hidden drive" or something to possibly alert traffic of the possibility of a car pulling out from an area that is difficult to see due to the curve. Ultimately, I really feel the stretch of Park Ridge Rd from E 46 to the 4 way stop at Morningside Dr. could greatly benefit from traffic calming measures....speed bump installation. Thanks in advance to your attention to this matter.
The streetlight is out
This unnecessary, gas station-style light seems far too tall and way too bright for this context of a residential neighborhood. It shines brightly into my second-story bedroom window (see photo) and wakes me during the night. No one living on this intersection wants it here. Bright outdoor light in the summer also disrupts firefly mating, causing their population to decline. Please remove it—or replace with a much shorter, *much dimmer*, insect-friendly, amber-lit lamp post, ideally also befitting a historic neighborhood. Thank you.
