Description
When driving north on Grizzly Peak and attempting a left turn onto Marlborough, sight distance is severely limited due to the curve of the road. Regardless of how cautiously one executes a left turn here, the safely of this essentially-blind turn is directly related to the speed of any oncoming (southbound) vehicles. I have had many close calls here, and nearly hit a motorcycle head-on today. A parabolic mirror placed on the light-/signpost on the NW corner would greatly improve sight distance and safety of this intersection.

Residents in the neighborhood adjacent to Marlborough Terrace have tried for years to get a mirror or, better yet, a yield sign at this intersection. You're right, it is very dangerous. The city doesn't seem to care. A few years ago the city built a small retaining wall near the corner, and we all hoped a mirror/sign would follow, but alas. Zilch.
I find it best to get right up to the intersection, crank the wheel all the way over, wait for 1 more second, and gun it.
