Missing street sign from NE corner of Cottage Grove and Washington.
Missing street sign from NE corner of Cottage Grove and Washington.
Multiple potholes in intersection at Washington and Cottage Grove.
Street name/Stop Sign damaged and vandalized. Should say, Cottage Grove Ave.
On 3 recent occasions, I have seen cars going south on N Forrest Ave blow through the intersection at E Cottage Grove Ave (at the SE corner of Luddy Hall) without even slowing down for the stop sign. The first 2 times I saw it, I just chalked it up to new student drivers but on the 3 time I took a closer look at the intersection and think I see the problem. There is a tree in front of the stop sign that totally obscures the view of the stop sign until you are basically right at the intersection. See that attached picture that I took standing in the middle of the traffic lane that shows the exact view the driver sees. By the time they see the stop sign it is way too late to stop. I'm not sure what the best fix is but trimming the tree seems like a simple option. There is a huge amount of foot traffic in that area during the school year and I would hate to see someone hurt at this intersection. Thanks!
Missing fess at sign
Street sign and stop sign combo was knocked off anchor at 6th & Washington EB probably sometime New Year's Eve. I did not hear a crash, but noticed it first on the morning of Jan. 1, 2022.
Good size pothole at the intersection of Wylie Farm Road and Henderson Street. Hard to miss if you are turning right from Wylie Farm Road onto Henderson.
The stretch of Adams St between Allen and 2nd St is riddled with very deep, very dangerous potholes.
There are several potholes in the southbound lane of Adams St. between 2nd St. and W. Allen St.. Because the road is so narrow, it's almost impossible to avoid them.
