Line of Sight

Concerned that the neighborhood zone parking sign in front of this address is hidden by trees, and therefore more people are parking illegally. Thanks for your help.
Line of sight from the parking lot of the adjacent apartment complex is impeded by flowers and plantings on this property.
The house on the north-west corner of Maxwell and Fess has plants so tall that it is dangerous for cars driving south on Fess to pull into the intersection.
Dead tree on NW corner of 2nd and Swain that is filled with poison ivy.
The alley that runs from 2nd St. to the Harmony School parking lot continues north across Hunter and runs to Atwater. There is another alley that runs from Faculty down to Woodlawn (just south of Subway). Those two alleys intersect. The problem is that the intersection is completely overgrown with bushes and vines, which makes it extremely hard for someone headed west to see anyone coming from Hunter. And since so many Harmony kids use that alley to get to Subway, I fear that one of them will get hit, especially now that there are several rental houses with parking off that alley. Could you either have someone trim the overgrowth back or ask the homeowners to do it? If you come down from Faculty, you will see how badly obstructed the view is of anyone coming up the alley from Hunter. (And if you use the alley off of Hunter, be prepared to get scratches on your vehicle by the bushes growing into the alley.)
The flowers in front of Ami restaurant are in the way and you can't see traffic coming if you are turning left onto 3rd St off of Swain Ave
Tall hedges on SE corner lot of Hunter and Ballantine obscure view when taking a left onto Ballantine from Hunter.
New group that lives in the house are constantly parking in yellow at the intersection causing a traffic hazard. This is already a difficult intersection to see.
Hedge growing in front of house at the SE corner of Henderson and University can block driver heading west on University from seeing car (bicycle?) heading north on Henderson. I was heading north; had to slam on brakes. I thought the other driver had failed to stop, but when i came back later, i found that their line of sight might have been blocked. Thanks!
