Description

This is an URGENT safety issue. We need a permanent and immediate solution to the hedge located on a property on Wake Forest road (about 1/2 block up, on the left as you face north) near the intersection of Poplar Street.. This hedge COMPLETELY blocks visibility for cars on Poplar that are trying to turn onto Wake Forest Road in either direction. Many, if not most, residents of Mordecai, Pilot Mill and Capitol Park use Poplar to get onto Wake Forest Road every day, several times a day and each time, it is a roll of the dice if a car coming down WF toward downtown will hit you. This is my third time reporting this. It was addressed once, and the hegde was trimmed back a little but it quickly grows back. Please have the entire hedge removed before someone gets very hurt. We look forward to your prompt reply.

Original report of the issue: There are large shrubs on the sidewalk that severely block visibility for drivers trying to turn left (North Bound) onto Wake Forest Road from Poplar Street. It is extremely dangerous; you have to pull out into Wake Forest Rd. in order to see if traffic is coming. This has been a problem for years and hope to see this fixed.
