Climbing the 14th St hill south of 17th Ave may have been an issue.
Especially in winter.

There are many pictures in the various local archives of the buses, trollies and streetcars that came northbound down the 14th St hill, missed that corner, and slammed into the drug store on the N.E. corner.

And a few photos of northbound cars & trucks that slid through that intersection & hit the nearby buildings.
