Overgrown trees along a bend on Olcott severely limits visibility along the Olcott and as we exit our driveway. Lots of pedestrians and kids around here for such overgrowth.

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.
800 Block of W. 2nd St(2nd and Euclid):from Euclid turning on to 2nd, it is difficult to see looking East to turn out on 2nd due to plants. 900 Block of W. 3rd St: Sidewalk blocked by plants on the North side of the street. 700 Block of W. Smith: Impassable due to overgrown plants and trees.
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.

This is at the intersection of Pickwick and Winfield, heading east on Winfield. There is a stop sign at this intersection. Winfield is a busy road and there are many bicyclists use it as well. As you can see, the trees on the northwest corner of this intersection block all view of anyone heading south on Winfield. Please speak to the property owners about removing or cutting these trees on the corner. Thank you.
Hi, I drive a bucket truck for a business on thorton drive. The boom sticks out six feet in front of the truck. When i pull out onto henderson I am almost in the middle of the road before i can see if traffic is coming. My main concern is that a bus or large vehicle could catch the boom and cause an accident.Before I was hoping the city could remove the overgrowth of brush at the intersection to make it safer. Thanks, Ben
This is at the NW corner of Pickwick, heading east on Pickwick. Winfield is a busy street (most exceeding the speed limit by at least 10 miles an hour) and there is a stop sign for cars heading east on Pickwick. The people that live on the NW corner have planted rows of trees. These trees block the line of sight for those headed east on Pickwick. Cars that need to pull out onto Winfield must pull from Pickwick into the Winfield before the can see what cars are on Winfield. This route is often used by cyclists and there is no way to see cyclists heading south on Winfield. Please talk to the property owners about improving this situation by cutting or removing these trees.
Safety hazard/ line of sight Driving- pulling out on to 2nd Street, unable to see west bound traffic on 2nd street.
