This is actually a problem on both sides of this block. There are 2 separate houses where the shrubs overgrow the sidewalk. Walkers get crowded onto the grass shoulder and onto the street. With so many kids walking around, this certainly does not contribute to safety.

The extreme heat makes it very difficult for home owners to handle these issues. Give people a break. This isn't a safety problem.

So you know the homeowners, and they have told you that extreme heat is the reason why?

No, I don't know where this is, but we have hedges too and the extremely rainy weather made it impossible to keep up with them. And now the heat. Hedge trimming is hard work. It's not even safe to overexert in that heat and you don't know what they are dealing with. I've tried all summer to get someone to come and just give me a price on cutting our hedges and they won't come out. And I'm not hiring a kid without insurance because it's ladder work. You could leave a note in their door asking if they could please trim the hedges back because it's difficult to pass. Start there.

Homeowner has trimmed the hedge. I understand that homeowners have difficulty keeping up in the continual rain on the weekends and dangerously high heat. The street across from this property has a smaller hedge and is easy to pass, so there is no danger and no significant inconvenience. Just a lack of neighborliness and a wast of borough time.
