Beschreibung

Line-of-sight vision for turning onto Roosevelt is very often blocked by large vehicles (usually commercial trucks) parked in front of the Cabinetworks* business at the southeast corner of this intersection. It makes for a dangerous situation of needing to pull out onto a busy arterial without accurately assessing the traffic conditions. Parking should be limited to passenger vehicles only at the northernmost spot in front of Cabinetworks, or just take that spot out altogether. Delivery trucks should use their parking lot/loading area off of 95th.

Yes & no, this issue is fixed. The parking sign was moved about 5' south. And although I'm very grateful to the city for responding to this issue (finally! I originally contacted them about a year ago), I still sometimes have a hard time getting a good view of traffic. I'm going to try to remember to keep my camera in the car for a while, and take a picture of the set-up sometime when there's a truck there. I'll e-mail it to my contact at the city, and see if she still considers it problematic.

Yes, this is still a problem, but I never seem to have my camera with me when there's a large vehicle parked there. I'll keep trying.

Finally I had my camera with me, when a car was parked there and thereby limiting visibility. I was westbound on 95th St at Roosevelt. You can see that due to the slope of the street, one can barely see the northbound lane past the parked car. Imagine if it was a truck, or if it was parked in the spot adjacent to the no parking zone.

I estimate that there are two car-lengths in front of this car to the intersection -- one legal parking spot, one No Parking spot. That's approximately 30'. If a northbound car is going the speed limit of 30 mph, that gives the driver from the side street 0.68 seconds to see & respond. If that northbound car is just 5 mph over the speed limit, the side street driver has just 0.58 seconds!

And when a car is in that last legal spot, a sidestreet driver has all of 0.34 sec (Roosevelt traffic at 30 mph) to evaluate safety for turning on to Roosevelt.

I don't think this is a safe intersection.

Here's a photo of the intersection in the evening. As in previous photos, it shows only a few car length's visibility.

OK, here's yet another photo showing how limited the vision is for vehicles coming from the south. Can anyone confirm that they are actually looking at these posts or looking in to this issue? I'm not sure what to do with it. Thanks.

We also live on the same block and completely agree. (95th and Roosevelt neighbor)

The issue remains unsolved.

Issue unresolved. Closing it because nobody seems to check this web site.
