Vegetation obstructing sidewalk near driveway
Large shrubs along the Abby Lane side of the 1700 E. Camby Lane property are growing out into the sidewalk area. These impede the line of sight for cars exiting Camby onto Abby (right or left) and also force walkers to move into the street when walking on the east side of Abby Lane. The shrubs are so large that if walkers squeeze in to walk next to them on the sidewalk, it's uncomfortable to do so because they could easily conceal humans or wild animals and are therefore intimidating, especially during evenings and nights.

Sidewalk closed for construction with no alternative. mutcd 6d-1 "pedestrians should be provided with safe, convenient travel path that replicates as nearly as possible the most desirable characteristics of sidewalks". On college, the most desirable characteristic is not crossing college!!!!! This is the context where a quality detour is *more* important than in more walkable settings, but staff has mistakenly determined the exact opposite.
