excessive growth on west side of road makes it difficult to see when coming south on Woodscrest to Woodbine
from Walker to Euclid has lots of excessive growth blocking views to pull out of driveways. some bushes are growing into the street. the whole area needs to be looked at, even behind the properties.
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.
The owner of 347 S. Maple Street has planted large bushes at the edge of the sidewalk blocking the line of sight at S. Maple Street and W. Smith Avenue
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.

Anonymous complaint phoned in this morning. Caller said the trees at Ralston & Ford and bushes at Graham & Rockport need to be trimmed. They are overgrown, making it hard for drivers to see oncoming traffic.
