Description
New trees have been planted on 17th Street near the intersection of Ord St. Have called 311 two times so far to report the issue.
Visibility is bad when trying to turn from Ord St onto 17th Street and the new palm trees block view of oncoming traffic.
Please do something about this. Cars rarely come to a complete stop at Douglass Street despite a stop sign, making the problem even worse. Before the trees it was easier to cross but now it is very challenging.

Any news on this update? The palm trees still obstruct view trying to make a left or right from Ord Street onto 17th Street. The fact that cars coast but don't stop at the stop sign @ 17th/Douglass plus not being able to see has caused incidents of pedestrian and motor vehicle danger.. A large truck parks at the corner on 17th St just below ord street, making it impossible to see. Area should probably be made into a red zone so vehicle and pedestrian and bike safety are taken into consideration.
A best case scenario fix would be to put a light in the intersection. This would slow down traffic and make it safe for pedestrians, bicyclists and cars to pass.

Any updates? The problem is getting worse with increased traffic on 17th Street. Trees that are planted don't look like they are part of the rest of the trees planted in the neighborhood - did the property owner get a permit to plant palm trees on city property?
Please advise. Something needs to be done to make this street and intersection safer.
