There is a stop sign in there somewhere

I have a friend who has a full-time job in EssEff driving around logging missing, damaged or obscured street signage.  He's busy.  B'game certainly doesn't need an FTE for this, but an occasional drive through town with this goal is way overdue.  Many of us complain about pedestrian safety and would like more traffic enforcement (verses more speed bumps and little plastic bollards), but Step 1 should be ensuring drivers can actually see stop signs.

If you were not familiar with this intersection, you might be forgiven for not seeing the stop sign.  Can you see it below?  If you happen to be driving a truck, I'll bet it would be completely obscured.  If I took the photo a couple of hours later, we would also be looking right into the setting sun. This problem exists all over town.  Let's get the trimming crew out there.  I'm a tree hugger and I approve this message.

At least the word STOP on the pavement is clearly visible...

The paint could use a freshen-up too. Hard to see at night.

This photo reminds me of the Captcha grid to confirm one is not a bot. Click on the frame that has a stop sign in it!

A woman was killed crossing Peninsula Ave a couple of days ago. There aren't a lot of details yet but the need for more traffic enforcement everywhere is obvious.
