Descrizione

The yew tree on the sidewalk next to the easternmost crosswalk on S street and 12th has a tree crown that is so low that you cannot see pedestrians who are standing and waiting at crosswalk if you are in a car at the stop sign on S street heading east. This is a crosswalk my son uses everyday coming home from school and I see cars regularly moving forward without acknowledging that a pedestrian is waiting to cross. Not only can they not see the pedestrian, the pedestrian cannot make eye contact with the driver. Please either aggressively prune the tree or replace it with a tree that has a higher crown. Please look closely at photo--my son is standing in front of the crosswalk on the sidewalk and he's wearing a yellow (pretty visible otherwise) shirt. You can see he is almost invisible because of the tree.
