Why has the construction project on West 17th not been completed? Don't tell me it is behind schedule. I want specifics.

Since cross traffic is not permitted on 17th Street between College and Walnut and east of Walnut, it seems the traffic light signaling through its regular cycle is needless and leading to long backups on Walnut. At least make it flashing yellow.
My guess is you are aware that: (1) Driving west on 17th there is a small no left turn sign. (2) Drivers (to be kind) apparently aren't seeing the sign (surely they aren't ignoring it). Anyway, it is causing some big backups at times. I was there twice today and both times someone waited to turn left onto College. Not sure it is solveable, but hopefully there is something.
Can't see traffic/vehicles because of excessive overgrowth. You have to pull out in the street to see south bound traffic. Very dangerous
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.
West of 1434 W. 11th cannot see because of tree hanging over roadway.
Pulling off if west 10th on to north adams street the visibility to the north is impossible to see. I have had numerous close calls trying to pull out off of 10th the trees and brush need to be cut back.
A sidewalk I walk on in my neighborhood has a bush that is growing too far onto the sidewalk and needs to be trimmed back. 2401 Cedarwood Drive; side yard on The Stands; house on Cedarwood Drive, corner.
Stranded pedestrian: Sidewalk ends on both sides of the street going west on Rogers at the Stands. There was no signage for the lack of pedestrian access when I came out of Spicewood.
Bike route sign at entrance to "The Stands Drive" neighborhood west side of obscured.
