graphix-guy 1/10/2013 9:00:57 PM ReportThe person(s) who live in the house at the bottom of Simpson Street really need to trim those damn hedges! You can't see turning left unless you pull half way out onto Queen St. I'm sure those hedges had a role to play in that particular accident and they really serve no purpose being at that height. If nobody from the city wants to handle it I'll go do it myself if you like. Afterall, the best way to get something accomplished in SSM that the city should handle is...do it yourself! ;) Glad nobody was seriously injured but one day they will be and it'll be because of those hedges.
opinionated 1/10/2013 9:38:11 PM ReportPretty sure if enough people complain and the city determines the hedges do hinder visibility, the city has the right to cut them.
