trees and weeds hanging over the sidewalk
The citizen at 416 W. 11th Street uses the parking lot behind his building. His access is a East/West alley off of Rogers Street. There is an evergreen tree that blocks the line of sight for those pulling out of this alley trying to go South on Rogers Street. You have to pull partially into the northbound lane on Rogers to see around the tree. The tree also impedes pedestrian traffic along the sidewalk. The tree is behind the sidewalk. Refered by Lee Huss
There is a line of sight problem at the intersection of 12th St. and N. Walnut St. When turning onto Walnut St., you can't see the oncoming traffic because bushes are overhanging the sidewalk.

Wilmington Court Condos. There is a large evergreen tree (on Clarizz to the south of the entrance to the condos) that blocks the line of sight and causes traffic turning onto Clarizz from the condo entrance to pull out onto Clarizz to see oncoming traffic. The evergreen has grown over the sidewalk and into the street.
The second question is about pruning - I have a friend over in the Crestmont area who walks to Butler Park often, and there are some trees on Fairview, where it intersects with 11th St, that just completely block the sidewalk there. It's absolutely impossible to walk on! Would it be possible for someone from the city to prune those trees? It's not simply a nuisance - you really are forced to walk directly in the street, and there's only a sidewalk on one side on that part of Fairview.
