Its a tough intersection…I always thought it deserved a 4 way stop instead of 2 way…just me tho…
The person that drove onto the plants, should be required to replant the planter.
It looks like to me that the vehicle in the planter was knocked into it buy the other car.
Obviously needs a curb fart out, green lane painting, and warning pedestrian signs.
Don’t forget more warning signs.
Local body shop(s) and economy score.
Now that there’s a four way at A and Wabash, I guess someone was hitting the gas rather exuberantly.
I live at Wabash and Pine, that four way is on Wabashh and A. It’s run through dozens of times daily. That four way is run through dozens of times dauly. The street lighting lights the trees behind the signs at night, as well it’s a visually odd intersection. Anyhow, if one misses the fact that there is a four way, one need not employ exuberance with the gas pedal to achieve wrecking speeds by Wabash and B.
