Tree or Vegetation Issue Abierto12 Dudley Ave Newport, Rhode Island, 02840 - Newport
I am writing to urgently bring to your attention a significant issue affecting our community, namely the overgrown hedges along 12 Dudley Ave. These hedges have extended well beyond the property line and are now encroaching upon the street, posing a serious safety hazard to residents and motorists.
The unchecked growth of these hedges obstructs visibility for drivers, particularly at intersections, increasing the likelihood of accidents. Additionally, pedestrians are forced to navigate around them, often spilling onto the road, which is exceptionally dangerous, especially during peak traffic times.
Given the essential role of local authorities in ensuring the safety and well-being of residents, I implore you to take immediate action to address this matter. It is imperative that the hedges be trimmed and maintained to prevent further encroachment onto public space.
