As best I can tell, all that was done was to mow down thigh-high weeds along the front of the corner. These were not the problem and no improvement to the sight lines have been made. East-bound Textile and north-bound Hitchingham drivers still cannot see each other until entering into the roundabout. The problem is caused by six-foot-plus bushes and trees. They need to be severely cut back and/or removed. Whoever claimed they had addressed the problem needs to have far better supervision.

OK, there is now some improvement. But as I look at the other roundabouts in Washtenaw Co and beyond, I can find no other corner that is so visually impaired. A partial solution is still no solution when it comes to the safety of our community members.

Even more improvement but it can be so much safer. Why do the crews do the bare minimum each time? How much time and dollars does it cost to keep sending crews back to do a little bit more each time? Why not do it right the first time?

Hi Greg, I just left you a voicemail. Please give me a call back when you get a chance to discuss further. My direct line is (734) 327-6646.

I am out of country with a European phone #. I'll call you the first week of October.

Emailed resident on 10/09/19 - I spoke with the district foreman and he confirmed that the remaining area of concern (behind the fire hydrant) is just on the edge of the road right-of-way and that we can’t mow back any further than we already have. The area beyond the road right-of-way is private property that we do not have the jurisdiction to maintain.

Our district foreman has driven the intersection and the sight distance is appropriate for the speeds that people should be using the roundabout, approximately 15 mph. If anyone is seeing unsafe driving behavior, like excessive speeds, please contact local law enforcement. If you have any questions, please contact me directly (734) 327-6646.
