Description

I have previously reported on the following issue for the past three years. Once again the summer is coming to an end and this problem has not been resolved. The sight line at the corner of Sword Avenue and Connecticut Avenue is not safe due to a high flower garden at the house on the corner of Sword and Connecticut Avenue. Also the vegetation around the Sword Avenue bridge is also a problem. The vegetation has been trimmed back once this year but has begun to grow back. As far as the wild flowers they are right up against the roadside curb. I would think that there must be a town right of way to keep a streets sight line visible without having to drive out into the street to see if you are clear to move on. This is a hazard for our neighborhood children, residents and autos. I am dismayed that my previous complaint on this exact same issue would be closed out without proper resolution. I also placed a phone call to Matt Coppler our town manager and left my concerns on his voicemail. This was approximately 5 days ago and I have not received a response of any kind.

In addition to the above issue and in the same area is the condition of both sides of the street where you round the corner on Connecticut Avenue to the intersection of Sword Avenue. There are trees growing on the road itself as well as severe overgrowth of vegetation onto both sides of Connecticut Avenue. It looks like a jungle.

I find it very sad that after three years this cannot be resolved. I also do not appreciate our town manager Matt Coppler's lack of response! I would hope our not so cheap property taxes could be utilized to eradicate this very simple issue. Once again thank you for your time and I look forward to a full and final resolution to these problems.
