This is a relatively serious safety issue, as it obstructs the visibility of a fast-moving lane of traffic traveling westbound on Moraga approaching a dangerous 5-way intersection with pedestrian crosswalks, cross-traffic, a merging highway off ramp, and no traffic signal. As importantly, it obstructs the visibility of pedestrians and cross-traffic TO the vehicles approaching the intersection from this westbound lane of traffic. Even with clear sight lines this is a dangerous intersection that should probably have a stop light, but the overgrowth of the vegetation in the median has made it a serious accident waiting to happen.
