Description
These Lanes are a ONE LANE road, which is perfect for all the residents and folks don't want this to change. However, it's not safe to walk in specific areas on these two roads as cars have limited visibility to simple overgrowth of brush that has has grown horizontally into the roads and needs trimmed back with a tool that reaches higher than a grass cutter. 5/23/12 we had 2 near misses of getting run over by vehicles while we were on foot. We had to JUMP in the bushes as the car did not see us till the last minute. One on Mark, and one on Green. Mark Lane has shrubs hanging out to hit any of the SUVs traveling through along with Green Lane. Narrow roads and branches hang out into the roads, making it impossible to drive to the side or see around them when they are wet and hanging in the roadways. The sharp bend on Mark Lane and after, drivers do not have any visibility or safe viewing area around the sharp bend or after due to the road visibility being hidden from the over growth. Motorists cannot drive to the side to pass another vehicle due to branches and leaves sticking out into the roadway from about shouler high. Therefore, bottom cutters most likely cannot remove these. They must come in and physically trim this. One is required to drive in the middle of the road to avoid hitting the branches. Branches are very bad due to the rain and fast growth without trimming the shoulder height away. This needs to be cleared out and cut back. Corner is now a BLIND corner due to the growth on the inside of the bend. They used to do a better job on this road. This has been bad since the spring of 2011. The residents reported in May, 2011, June 2011, and July 2011. The trees that hang out on the sharp corner of Mark Lane are vines and branches so you cannnot see around the corner for the oncoming traffic. Folks, please take care of this now. 11/19/2010 reported again. Reported once more 5/11, 6/25/11, 7/11, 9/7/11. 5/23/12 reported AGAIN. Very bad across from #2 Mark Lane area. Overgrown from the side trees growing horizontally out. There is NO ROOM to safely walk on the road now. Be careful, it's very easy to get hit by a faster moving vehicle. Also I almost got hit simply waking on Green Lane near #19 Green Lane. Cars cannot see anything coming out of Mark Lane, and it's overgrown with stuff where they are not aware of anything coming down Green Lane (walkers or bicycles). The vehicles cannot see you as you are walking due to all the stuff hanging out in the road near the green corner house. Be very visible as it's easy to get hit here.

It's mostly the visibility turning off Mark Lane onto Green, and coming in on Green Lane on the right side by the 3rd house in.
Secondary is the brush and shrubs and items close to the road on Mark Lane on the right side all the way in and including the sharp bend. There are vines hanging in the road on the right at the bend that need removed. This area needs trimming as you cannot properly see around the bend and it's blind.

2 issues still reside: Green Lane across from the 3rd - 4th house on RIGHT side - bush growing in roadway. Has not been resolved.
Mark Lane: reflectors up blocking people from moving out of the way to allow someone to pass on the sharp corner. One absolutely cannot pass any other large vehicle here, and there is no place to pull over with the reflectors blocking off the side of the road. It is still an issue and has not been resloved.

Grass cutter came through on 5/25/11. He cut some grass but did not attempt to trim the trees or branches sticking in the roadways on Green and Mark Lanes.
1) Branches sticking into roadway blocks a car from being able to pass another vehicle safely on both roads. There are areas where site distance is not safe and no visibility around corners on:
a) Mark Lane and Green Lane Intersection
b) Mark Lane going in on left side around corners and,
c) Sharp bend is really bad with leaves/branches trees on corner AND markers blocked the grass cutter from removing the side vegetation from the corner.
d) More visability issues across from 4 Mark Lane with more cutting needed.
2) Vegetation hanging out all along Green and Mark Lane makes visibility very poor for walkers with cars coming around corners. Job was done 1/3 of the way (for the grass). Now the stuff hanging and growing horizontally in the roads must be removed for safety.

The Roxbury folks are keeping the grass down nicely and have widened the sharp bend on Mark Lane a little on one side.
There are tree branches hanging out into the road on Green and Mark Lane with greenery that block vision around corners and force vehicles into the center of the road away from them. This causes a crowding situation when vehicles pass each other, or if there is someone walking. Please work at getting the stuff hanging out into Mark and Green Lanes cleared to at least a foot before the road begins to allow vehicles to safely drive on these two roads.
