I contacted the property owner via mail with a notice of violation letter. I also contacted them via phone call. I also met with them at their property in order to give better direction about what trimming would help. After a couple of attempts the obstruction was abated. They promptly took care of the line of sight obstruction. I also contacted the constituent via email and phone call to make sure they were aware of progress and abatement. The constituent is listed on the other uReport for this location because it got entered twice.

Reevaluated this intersection today. The property owner trimmed the Aster down. Line of sight is now adequate for motorists traveling north on Ridgeview looking east for motorists traveling west on Sunny slopes.

I reevaluated this intersection yesterday 9/22 and the Aster clumps are blocking line of sight. I contacted the property owner via phone call today to let her know they need to either be trimmed or moved. The owner stated they have a busy weekend but will attempt to have it taken care of by Monday. They will call me with an update on Monday on their progress. I brought up the trucks parked on the street at our traffic concerns meeting and the engineers agreed that we should wait for any decision about the parking until the Aster plants are taken care of.

Stopped by Friday 9/16 and got to speak with property owner. They had someone working at that time to trim the area for better line of sight. I explained the area that needed most attention so they didn't have to take out too many flowers, including two Aster clumps that i thought would be sparse enough in the lower half of the plants to have appropriate sight through them. I inspected the intersection again yesterday (9/20). Unfortunately I was wrong about the Aster and will need to recontact the property owner and ask they be moved or trimmed very low. I noticed a white truck parked on the North side of Sunny Slopes that seemed to be blocking line of sight as well. I will ask Neil about that concern.

I inspected this intersection today. The tall weeds/flowers on the Southeast corner of the intersection creates a line of sight obstruction. Drivers traveling North on Ridgeview do not have adequate visibility of westbound traffic on Sunny Slopes when attempting to turn West onto Sunny Slopes I couldn't find a phone number so I sent a Notice of Violation letter to the property owner. Will recheck location in 10days.
