When I try to pull out of the Walnut St. parking lot for switchyard park onto Walnut St. there are always big tow trucks blocking my view of traffic to the north and I think there is a big limestone sign maybe marking Switchyard Park itself blocking my view to the south, so that I have to pull out fully blocking the sidewalk to see if it is safe to turn onto Walnut. I think it might be necessary for some cars to even stick into the roadway a little before they can see traffic approaching, especially bikers on the sidewalk, which is sort of common between this lot and Miller Drive
Bushes are 10 ft high causing safety issues for neighbors. Resident has been informed but has not trimmed.
There are some weeds growing up here that make it particularly difficult for drivers that are eastbound on E Smith Ave to check for northbound traffic on S Lincoln St before turning left onto Lincoln St. In the summer, this is a particularly busy area during pick-up and drop-off for the Lincoln Street Boys & Girls Club summer camps. It would also be ideal to take a look at the curb markings here to see if street parking can be adjusted to improve visibility at this intersection. Thank you!
Downed tree partially fell on road
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.
Stop sign at the end of Kerasotes is totally covered by vegetation. Sidewalk is also covered forcing pedestrians to walk in the street.
Limb down in road
At the corner of Renwick and Hawksmoore, the stop signs in all three directions are obscured by tree branches.
Greenery growing between paved walk and street is so tall that driver entering Sare Road cannot see oncoming traffic.
