At the intersection North 167th street and Stone Avenue North, there are 2 large trees on the North side of 167th that makes it impossible to see oncoming, east bound traffic.
The picture I've uploaded shows the view from my car while correctly stopped on Stone Avenue.
It's very easy to pull out in front of 167 traffic traveling east because of those beautiful trees.
Please have them pruned (correctly), perhaps by lifting the canopy.

The picture shows two trees, one to the left of the telephone pole, and one to the right of it. The tree to the left of the pole is fine.
But the tree to the right of the pole occludes the traffic, and there is another tree BEHIND that one that you cannot see in this picture that is also blocking a clear view...this second tree becomes a problem in the winter as it doesn't lose it's leaves (IIRC).
I'm attaching another picture from my car while my car is in the middle of the intersection, the only place that you can really see oncoming traffic. You can see the back of my window frame is well into traffic.

We left a business care with the owner of property to cut back vegetation.

It looks like a branch was broken, which helps visibility (unfortunately, breaking branches can kill trees, so whomever broke the branch did it wrong). Now the large (laurel?) bush needs to be trimmed back.
Part of the reason that second bush needs trimming is because motorists speed here and although th branch being removed is helpful, it's not enough.
Cheers.

We are trying to contact the property owner to trim back the tree.

This issue is still a dangerous problem. Drivers speed East on N. 167th and so drivers on Stone Ave N. cannot see the speeding drivers soon enough when pulling out onto N. 167.
The time it takes to do a head-check in both directions is enough time for a car to suddenly appear from behind these laurel bushes.

Customer Response Team Rep noted there is adequate visibility, when the driver advances to the stop area before entering the intersection.

Only when people are not speeding is there enough sight distance.
But I beg you to hang out around rush hour on aurora or Friday and Saturday's when there is heavy traffic to the casinos.
As a resident, I'd say about 1/3 of the time it's dangerous, and one visit by your crews won't have enough of a sample size to close this issue.
