The Malden Police Dept has determined that this shrub is not an impediment to traffic. They recommend vehicles stay in the right hand lane at the stop sign to gain the best view of the oncoming traffic lane.

The answer given to this problem makes no sense. From Swan Street to Elwell you have to stay in the right lane because Swan Street is a 2 way Street so you have to stay in the right lane and stop at the right hand stop sign by law and from there you do not have a good view of cars coming down Elwell because of that 10 foot tall bush which is so close to Elwell Street that it may be on city property. Why doesn't someone from the city come up here and see for themselves even though it was already looked into. Maybe a second opinion would help the neighbood because this is obviously a concern by many neighbors. Also where is our city councilor on this issue ??

Christopher Webb (Director of Public Health) assigned this issue to Police Department (Traffic)

Is th

This bush is getting taller and wider everyday. Has any further action being taken here or Is the problem being forgotten about? Right now you have to inch out at least 6 feet beyond the stop sign to even get a glimpse of cars coming down Elwell Street. Why did the city make them cut back the Bush last year and this year there is nothing wrong with it? I don't get it.

Agreed it's not safe

Another month has gone by. No action or response. Is this the way the City handles an issue, just to ignore it? Is anything going to be done about the obstruction? Last year the owner at 9 Swan Street is made to trim the bush way back. This year the higher ups decide there is nothing wrong with it? Now the bush is double the size and it's even harder to view cars coming down Elwell Street as we exit Swan Street. Please have the bush trimmed. The gentlemen who lives their is not approachable to talk to. Please respond instead of ignoring us.

This bush is still an issue this year. Could this please be readdressed.

Now we are in 2019 and this bush is still an issue, could this please get revisited. Thank you

The property owner has passed away... can something be worked out now to cut down half of that bush?

These bushes have been cut back thank you
