This issue has been reported multiple times and the ticket is closed each time without it being addressed. Let's hope it doesn't happen again, especially since this is such a dangerous intersection.

This issue has not been completed. A few vines were removed from the sign post. The corner is still overgrown and is completely blind to oncoming westbound traffic on Crockett. This issue has been reported at least SEVEN TIMES over the past 18 months with no resolution whatsoever! This is a major safety hazard that continues to be ignored by the City.

This is the previous report that was arbitrarily closed without any corrective action:

What a joke!

Dear Council Member, Ed Gonzalez
District H
Mayor Pro-Tem

I live at 1103 Summer Street, 77007.
I and other neighbors have been reporting the stop sign at Holly Street & Crockett Street for many months now, using 311 and the SeeClickFix website.

The issue is not the sign, but the street visibility; one has to pull out into Crockett to see traffic coming from the East (across Crockett Street Bridge) and many times visibility from the West is impeded by cars parked on the South side of Crockett, not to mention the afternoon sun in the West. (see photos)

Why is it that the city is very quick to address overgrowth issues with personal property but will not address City right of ways when they are overgrown? This issue exist on both sides of Crockett along Holly Street. On the South side of Crockett along Holly there are no sidewalks. There is construction currently on the corner of Holly and Summer Street and there are always cars, trucks and trailers parked along Holly, at times on both sides of the street. This of course will eventually subside, but for those of us who enjoy using the Hike and Bike Trail it makes it very difficult at times. But, the main issue again is trying to turn onto Crocket from Holly.

It is also, very unsightly.

I would appreciate speaking to you or your representative as there are several other issues, drainage being one; but for now, if the City of Houston would please come out and cut the overgrowth along this section of Holly and open up the corner for clearer visibility of the oncoming traffic flying over the Crockett Street Bridge, you would make me and the neighbors very happy.

I look forward to your reply.

Regards,

Trimming vines off a stop sign does nothing to increase the visibility to oncoming traffic as they cross the Crockett Street Bridge.

311/COH - The issue IS NOT the limbs growing up on the stop sign, it is the 8-10 feet of growth in weeds, vines and shrubs behind it that are blocking the view of the intersection. The only way to see past it is to pull out in the middle of the intersection into oncoming traffic, which is a safety hazard.

Picture taken 10 minutes ago. Is this the COH standard for work completed?

This is unacceptable and we will continue to pursue this until it is addressed.
This is an unsafe condition and someone is going to get in an accident.
