autos parking too close to intersections creating blind spots

This is Friday and Sunday afternoons, this church needs off street parking only as it jeopardizes the turn into and from Donna Road to New Hope turning it into a single lane and god help us if we need a fire truck to come down Donna road. Please put up no parking signs here. This is also a problem weekdays on many streets around 3-4 pm when Hispanic people park on the street side picking up waiting for a bus .

On my way home tonight, I was heading slowly east on Leonard and was nearly hit by a car heading slowly north on Dogwood. This near collision of two duly cautious drivers was due to the overgrown shrubbery on the south west corner of the intersection. These plantings do not need to be trimmed (again) - they need to be REMOVED once and for all.

Shopping carts and trash nearing exit ramp. Potential traffic safety issue.

Tow truck and cart has been parked at intersection for days The cart is not well marked and hard to see at night They are too close to the intersection

Large Magnolia Tree overgrowth

There are a number of signs along the right side of Capital BLVD heading south into the city downtown area, including the sign to exit for the airport, etc. that are either totally or partially obstructed by trees growing. One of them is the 45mph speed limit sign which is impossible to see until you are within a few yards. Please remove some trees and cut back branches so that these signs can be seen on approach by vehicles so there is no last minute speed reduction or lane changes to get off upon realizing what the sign says.

Please see photo attached.

My neighbors have a vacant home and they have several large trees that have sprawled on to the street on a curve. This causes the lanes to shrink and obstruct the view of the drivers coming from both sides. This is especially dangerous when the neighborhood kids are walking or running around the street. The images attached show the situation. Since the home is vacant, I can't ask the home owners. It would be great if the city removed the obstruction.

Difficulty seeing around shrubs for oncoming traffic when traveling W on Beechridge, crossing over White Oak.

It is dangerous turning left from Lakeview Drive onto St. Mary’s Street as there is a large tree right next to the road blocking the view of vehicles coming from the right on St. Mary’s Street.
