Description
This corner is a safety hazard for cars and especially for pedestrians, due to restricted visibility. Cars turning from SE 33rd Street onto 96th Ave SE routinely cross onto the side-strip, to avoid possible oncoming cars they cannot see, about to turn the same corner in the other direction. However if a pedestrian is on that side-strip, a driver cannot see them until they are just a few feet away, too late to brake safely. It's not clear how much of the visibility -blocking hedge (above the white fire hydrant in the photo) is on private property. Maybe all of it is. However, if any of the hedge is hanging over the city's right-of-way, please trim it back to increase visibility around this dangerous corner.
