Description

There is significant overgrowth of trees and shrubs on the outskirts of the yard at 4800 Connell Drive (corner of Connell Drive and Weaver Rd). Drivers regularly drive above posted speeds coming down the hill from Weaver + Oak Park to this intersection at Connell Drive + Weaver. The overgrowth obstructs the view and the mirror hanging across the intersection is ineffective most of the early and mid morning due to sun glare. There have been numerous near misses here between cars, bikes, and motorcyles. This is a danger to drivers, bikers, and pedestrians in the area and should be addressed promptly. Additional precautions including speed bumps and other cautionary signs warning of blind intersections would also be helpful.
