Line of sight obstruction at Smith and Buckner NE and NW corner.
Overgrown bush blocking left turns, heading east taking a left north to the light.
The intersection of Fenbrook & Smith Road on the NW Corner the grass is about two feet high.
Where Viva ends into Nancy and you are turning left onto Nancy there are several spruce trees that are blocking the line of site.
Wild Cherry bush on the corner of Franklin & West 3rd at the China House is causing a line of site issue
Nw corner Montclair & Wimbleton, tree is blocking right of way, needs pruning.
Marilyn (no last name, no phone) stated that the bushes are so overgrown on the alley on Huntington between 1619 and 1701 Huntington that its dangerous to exit the alley, or for cars pulling out of their driveway to see traffic on Huntington.
My next door neighbors at 2100 W 106th St have a bush in the grass area between side walk & street that grows high & wide & blocks the view from driveway to see the traffic on 106th St. It's a busy street & difficult to pull out & back out as is, but with the neighbors bush it makes it even more difficult. It blinds the view and we are concerned of getting in an accident because of it. For last few years it's grown taller & wider & we even talked to the neighbors about it about 1 1/2 yrs ago, but they didn't seem to think it was an issue & did nothing about it. I don't want to be a disgruntled neighbor, but also do not want to get in a car accident from the blinding view, trying to leave my driveway. It is very frustrating. I would like to know what the rules are for planting trees, bushes or plants on the section of grass between the sidewalk & street is & if the neighbors could be requested to remove or trim down the bush.
Traffic sight lines at American Blvd. and the east entrance of Metro Drive are horrible, if not impossible, due to the raised planting bed in the middle of American Blvd. and the bushes growing there. Pulling out from Metro Drive you cannot see oncoming traffic from the west, and making a left turn into Metro Drive you cannot see oncoming traffic from the east. There as an accident right there just about a week ago and every day is a crapshoot, especially d uring prime rush hours. Please trim these bushes down so sighlines can be had.
Vegetation is too high to see onto Vernal Pike from 11th Street
