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's a massive bush that grows right here that makes it impossible to see until you're basically already in the road (driving east on Dodds). I almost got hit today because a car had to pull so far out from the street to look around that bush. There's also a pedestrian crossing here, and I've seen a number of close calls with people trying to cross and a car pulling beyond the crosswalk to see around that bush. I don't know if it's city property or private, but it's a hazard.
You have to pull all the way to the very edge of the road to see around the bushes and shrubs that grow in that gore/traffic island between Dodds, Walnut, and College Ave. The shrubs are grown out to the point where visibility is obscured, making it difficult to see around them until you're basically in the road. This is especially dangerous because of how busy Walnut St is during the day.
At the dead end road of Hawthorne, the city installed a bike/ walking trail w/no caution sign to alert walkers/bikers of the hidden driveway @ 1033 Hawthorne (my parents home). Bikes come zipping down, line of site NOT clear. Worried someone could get injured. Please consider & thank you:)
When leaving the Tapp Rd/B-Line trailhead, there is a large bush that significantly limits the line of sight from the traffic traveling eastbound on Tapp Rd. This bush needs to be completely removed. I filed a uReport last year. This issue will get progressively worse as the growing season picks up. Please resolve at your earliest opportunity. Thank you!
PREVIOUSLY REPORTED, NOT RESOLVED: I reached out to you on April 7, 2026 about an electrical wire that is sitting on top of my garage; it runs from my house to the electric pole in my yard. You recommended that I report it to Duke Energy - I did, on the same day - Ticket # D7806903. No one has repaired this dangerous situation yet, I am very concerned about a wire touching my garage which has my car and lawn equipment stored inside. What do you recommend should be my next steps as Duke was unresponsive? OTHER : Since that time, I noticed that there is a very large tree/branch on the town property in the rear of my yard. This tree/branch is touching my rear yard neighbor's electrical wires - it should be removed - it has been there since the tornado in February. Thank you, Elida C. Behar April 21, 2026
