    As semi- trucks drive southbound, they drive over four manhole covers in the 2nd lane from sidewalk. Particularly if the truck is empty, it creates a loud "boom" sound as the deteriorating asphalt around the manhole covers disturb the smooth driving of the trucks tires over that area.
    The two manholes closest to the sidewalk appear to be in worse condition that the ones further out. But it seems to the eye, the section needs to be repaired. Thanks!

    Coming from Sequoia Grove Apartments, on SE 28th PL, and trying to take either a left or right turn onto Richard's Road, it is easy to get surprised by southbound traffic especially by vehicles in the curb-side lane. It is because the shrubbery around the power utility control box to the driver's left, significantly blocks the view to the north. That is, when the driver is looking to the left for southbound vehicles.
    Ideally, the shrubbery around the utility control box be removed. Easy to fix that!

    If someone (Driver 1) is coming from SE 28th PL to take a left onto Richard's Road during evening rush hour, the traffic often lets the person out (because the traffic is so slow). But often, other traffic (Driver 2) is using the center lane as a left-turn filter lane to take a left way down at SE 30th St (2 blocks further south). That use of the center lane is difficult to anticipate by Driver 1.
    Living in Sequoia Grove apartments means that about once a week I come close to an accident right there.

    Here is a suggested change (attached).
    1. Make a raised island north of the intersection to stop southbound drivers from using center lane as left filter.

    The only downside is, the property on the east of the image would no longer be able to turn into their south entrance coming from the north. But they have many alternatives, so I don't think that would be a problem
