Pulling out of Madison street onto Dodds is incredibly dangerous and hard to see. On the Northwest corner there is a limestone wall with plants that you can't see around without pulling out on to Dodds which is super dangerous since it's a skinny road. I don't think they need to fix the limestone wall or anything but putting a convex safety mirror across dodds on the electrical pole would solve this problem pretty easily. Thanks!

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.

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.

owner put a fence up around their house and presumably didn't get a permit because it's right on the edge of their property, almost touching the road. Because it's so close to the road, it cuts off the line of sight for anyone approaching the four way stop sign. If you're coming from the main road you have to slowly edge forward to see past their fence to see if traffic is coming.

The overgrowth between the sidewalk and street on the NE corner of 2nd and Euclid blocks all the views of westbound traffic, creating a significant hazard. This occurs every year. The residents are apparently cultivating it. That overgrowth needs to be removed permanently.
