The corner of 3400 S Walnut Street Pike and East Burks Drive is not safe. Weeds and Tree by Mail Box block oncomming view of traffic coming from the south. It's a hill and if you want to pull out from the stop sign, it's very hard to see on coming cars. I use that corner all the time. Unsafe. I live off Burks Drive on 3506 S. Burks Ct.
Smith and Fairview, northeast corner, overgrown shrub obstructs line of sight for traffic turning onto Fairview from Smith.
Resident reported poor visibility due to overgrowth on the East side of Walnut Pike.
There is a line of sight issue with grass/trees/shrubs at the northwest corner of Burks Drive & Walnut Street Pike. There is a problem looking to the north coming off of Burks Drive onto Walnut Street Pike. Address given was for ureport purposes.
High grass blocking the view of coming traffic on the corner of burks drive and walnut street pike.
Trees on either side of Terrace Drive block view of traffic when leaving Terrace Drive
The vegetation along Smith Ave from Euclid to Walker is out of control AGAIN. It overgrows into both sides of Smith so cars get scratched. If you want to turn onto Smith from Buckner you CANNOT see East on Smith to know if a car is coming West on Smith. Going East and West on Smith, the same problem occurs both directions on Davisson. This is a chronic problem every year. I believe Smith is platted as 16 feet wide, but there is definitely not that much clearance. I also believe there is city law that says vegetation should be cut back 3 feet from the street edges. If owners would cut their vegetation back one foot from the paved edge of Smith it would be a lot better. I'd appreciate contact from you after you look into this. Thank You!! (Sorry I don't have a photo I can upload right now. If you want one, let me know.)
When you pull out of the shelter, there is a huge line of sight issue with the trees turning left or right.
Speed limit sign covered by foliage.
The street lamps that are posted coming out of the sidewalks have been knocked out and not working for some time, but the building blocks any kind of light coming from busier streets and the light coming from 3rd Street and Allison jukebox is not enough that you can see walking down the sidewalk. As an employee of middleway house, my supervisor has given me permission to report to you that clients have experience not feeling safe and needing flashlights to navigate the sidewalk at night. The worst area is on the southwest side of the sidewalk between the gates of the new wings building down to Smith Avenue. It is also dark across the street from another building owned by middleway house, the rise at 401 South Washington. It is very dark on the west side of the street and our clients and are coming home with their children taking the bus when the bus station often is closed. Please work with whoever the property management is of that apartment building because I'm sure they need to install proper lighting for their own tenant's safety, especially on the doorways and entry points that make people feel unsafe walking by. I believe the city needs to install more lighting as well. This area has been begging increasingly unsafe, although close to 3rd St Police. Thank you for giving this the attention it deserves.
