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
Plants along sidewalk have grown out enough to impede pedestrians, and they keep growing. Could be responsibility of 713 E. Cottage Grove, or maybe both.
Sidewalk not usable due to vegetation
This evergreen shrub (and the grapevines growing within) is hanging very low over the sidewalk so most pedestrians have to duck or walk around, which can be dangerous on the busy street. Its even worse when raining and the shrub is weighed down by the water.
The sidewalk from S Lakespur Ln. to Mother Hubbard’s is getting very over gown and muddy making it hard to walk on. There’s a lot of honey suckle and even poison ivy growing into the walking area.
Vegetation growing over sidewalk
Vegetation growing over sidewalk
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.
It is difficult to see onto Walnut St Pk from Allendale, to see if it is safe to turn onto Walnut St Pk. Driver must pull very far forward in order to see if there is incoming traffic. Additionally, many people speed on Walnut Street Pike, making it more dangerous to pull out.
