there is a tree that needs to be trimmed at this location because pedestrian traffic cannot see any oncoming traffic around it. Sounded like he was speaking of the alley.

Intersection of 17th & Lincoln (southside she believes) there are tree limbs hanging down into the sidewalk and blocking view for pulling out onto street. Believes tree belongs to apartment complex.
Between 3003 and 2903 Browncliff Lane there is a thicket of trees and bushes that is encroaching into the City's Right of Way.
There is a shrub on the southwest corner of Fritz and Gilbert that is into the roadway. Traffic Division has trimmed back as much as they could to make the stop sign more visible but the shrub needs to be trimmed back more.
At the northeast corner of 10th and Dunn, the Mr. Copy building has a "Fax" sign that is in the sight triangle. Also, there is a Herald Times newspaper box in the sight triangle. These two items obstruct the view around the corner. I called both involved parties, Mr. Seibert of Mr. Copy and Mohammed of the Herald Times and both items will be moved within the next couple of days. Citizen was wrote letter on 3-7-96 notifying him of these results.
Because this house is so close to the sidewalk, it is nearly impossible to see the E->W cross traffic on 9th Street when one is traveling south on Grant. An easy way to address this is to ask the owner to trim or remove the shrubs that are on the south side of the building. Of course, a better remedy would be to install a stop sign on 9th Street at this intersection, making it an 3-way (= All-way) stop.
Does the City have jurisdiction over IU? The bricks on the bricks around the Sample Gates are so shiny that in the glare creates a hazard when traveling east (on bicycle) east into campus and also in the afternoons when traveling west. Last evening I crashed head-on into another bicyclist because I couldn't see him approaching. I have mentioned this to the Landscape Architect, but was told there is nothing that can be done to lessen the glare. Is that true?
alley by 1201 has trees growing over the sidewalk and at the corner of 16th and Madison the overgrowth is really bad
Bushes along 19th growing into roadway, obstructing view for intersection of 19th and Washington and neighboring driveway(s).
Norma was out with a Streets crew this morning collecting leaves and called with a line of sight issue at the NW corner of Skyline Drive and Kinser Pike. She said a pine tree that sits on the resident's side of the sidewalk blocks the view both north and south when trying to pull out on the street.
