This picture does't even capture the worst of it. Just around the bend the branches stick out into the street at least 4 feet forcing cars driving uphill to veer into oncoming traffic. This is a blind corner, so you can't see the oncoming traffic until you've almost smashed into a vehicle driving down the hill. Plus, there are a LOT of huge trucks going up and down Chittenden Drive all day long servicing the new home being constructed at the Deforest Hts cul-de-sac, posing an even greater danger as they have less ability to stop quickly. Please ask the homeowner to kindly trim back the overgrowth. Thank you.
ChittendenDriveHomeowner: The city has numerous examples of this type of obstruction in our publicly-owned rights of way and currently has not been able to catch up with either enforcement or pruning. Have you and your neighbors/street owners tried contacting the neglectful owner(s) or, failing at that, introduced it as a Front Porch Forum discussion amongst yourselves for a solution?
