Description
A. Please, can this hedge be removed? The hedge at 1368 Sylvan Circle (at Cartecay Dr) is causing 3 major problems: 1. encroaching Cartecay so pedestrians have nowhere to walk; 2. Cars making a right hand turn cannot see pedestrians; 3. blocking out stop sign.
B.Code Compliance: FENCE & HEDGE at 1376 Sylvan on Cartecay is built on right-of-way causing great danger to pedestrians --- walkers, strollers cannot get off the road as cars careen around the corner.

We will coordinate with Code Enforcement to give notice to the property owner to have the hedge trimed/removed to allow at least 6 feet of shoulder from the edge of pavement within 10 days or the city crews will trim/remove the hedge if not done by that time.

Code Enforcement spoke with the contact on the property with Keller Williams, and the contact stated she would get it taken care of. They were advised of the time frame for completion or else a citation would be issued.

THE DANGER TO PEDESTRIAN REMAINS! Even though the owners have trimmed back the hedges from the stop sign and street, then trimmed back into a bare-bones hedge, it is not solved. Please, walk this route and see how dangerous this is! Walk from MARTA up Sylvan; as you pass the mailbox in the photo about to walk left onto Cartecay; pray there's no car that's turning right off of Cartecay and coming straight at you! It's not the driver's fault; there is an evergreen bush totally blocking the drivers' and pedestrians' views from seeing one another. There's no where for the pedestrian to jump out of the way either.
This issue has was first initiated over three months ago, with lots of neighbors concurring that this is a dangerous intersection. The owner trimming the hedges doesn't address the core problem of visibility. Remove the hedge, fencing, and the tree.
