Mr. Carpenter called to complain about a line of sight issue at the intersection of Sunny Slopes Dr. and Ridgeview Dr. due to excessive growth at 218 E Sunny Slopes Dr. He reported several "near accidents" on account of the growth. See attachments.
We live at 1029 S. Dunn Street and the area around the perimeter of our home on the corner of Davis and Dunn is overgrown and covering speed limit signs and access to the fire hydrant. I was hoping that the City could help cut this back as we do not have the equipment to do so. Thanks!
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?
Turns onto 3rd street from Overhill Drive are very, very dangerous! It is basically a turn into a 5 lane road. I was going southbound on Overhill Drive making a left turn onto 3rd, but I was unable to see incoming traffic from eastbound 3rd street which was being blocked by cars stopped at the stoplight on westbound 3rd st. They frequently have to slow down to let me in and sometimes I have to swerve my car into the center lane to avoid an accident. The problem with that though is that sometimes westbound people on 3rd street wanting to turn left on Woodcrest Drive speed through the middle lane and almost crash into me while I am turning left onto 3rd street. It seems like the connection between Overhill Drive and 3rd street should be blocked off because there is no traffic light onto the 5 lane road which has high traffic, and due to the stoplight at 3rd/Woodcrest, all the stopped vehicles are blocking the view of oncoming traffic.
Tree on the southwest corner of Grimes and Dunn is blocking the view of the Speed Limit signs on the same corner.
Tree limb & foliage overgrowth between 2898 S. Sare Rd. & 2751 Spicewood Lane. Exiting off Spicewood Ln., tree in between above addresses obstructs clear view of approaching traffic heading south on Sare.
NW corner of Grant/8th has shrubs that hinder view of oncoming traffic when traveling south on Grant. When you get to the intersection you have to slowly pull into it because the shrubs prevent you from seeing cars traveling east on 8th Street, and they don't have a stop sign on 8th so they just plow through the intersection. This has been a hazard off and on for years.
Bush in the southeast corner of Allen-Walnut intersection makes it more difficult for westbound vehicles to see northbound vehicles.
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.
Day lilies on the west make it difficult to see the street when travelling north bound at Hawthorne and Maxwell. Difficult to see oncoming traffic when trying to turn right or left.
