recieved an email from street dept. stating that there is a line of sight problem at Thornton and Greystone.
The residents at 1643 E. Maplecrest Drive park there vehicles in the street. This address is at the corner of Headley Drive & Maplecrest. If a vehicle is going north on Headley and turns left onto Maplecrest they have to go around a tan, Ford Ranger that is always parked there. This causes a problem if someone is turning off of Maplecrest onto Headley. The road is only wide enough to accommodate two lanes of traffic, therefore, the vehicles almost collide before they realize someone is comin
Neighbor finally removed big bin of trash, but is still storing bags of garbage on their back porch, easy access for animals to spread garbage all over.
Tall weeds along the guardrail on the east side of Allen St where it intersects Bloomfield Rd are blocking the view of cars coming from the east.
At the corner of S Eastside Dr and E 2nd St, it is difficult to see to the east. The view is blocked by tree branches.
There is a visibility issue on the SW corner of Maxwell Street & Thornton Drive. The house on the corner built a fence around the property and planted trees on the outside which has caused a visibility issue for someone going north on Thornton looking to the west on Maxwell.
At Thornton Dr. and Henderson St. there is a line of sight issue looking south down Henderson while on Thornton. The stop sign on Thorton is back from the intersection and a driver cannot see users of the multi-use trail or traffic coming from the south on Henderson without pulling forward to the point of the vehicle being into the crossing for the multi-use path on Thornton. This has been a problem for a while. Today, I was stopped at the stop sign and about to slowly move forward to the point where I could see traffic when a bicycle heading north on the multi-use path coming down the hill from Miller along Henderson at a decent speed went flying by in front of my car without regard to the cross traffic pulling out. I'm not sure who would end up at fault when a cyclist goes over the hood of a car there in such a scenario but it seems better if the City can address the problem immediately instead of wait for someone to get hurt. I have seen similar issues with scooters coming down the hill there.
