Angry Wedgewood Lane. Tunnel Exit North. Obstruction by vegetation.

There is some vegetation obstructing the view of golf cart drivers seeing what is coming north of CR101 as well as for cars on CR101 which are low to the ground for them to see golf carts coming up the tunnel from the south.


Not sure whom to contact but this is an accident waiting to happen until that overgrown vegetation is taken care of.

Contact district property management about this safety issue. They will notify the appropriate contractor to take care of it.

Received call a few minutes ago and they said they would have to contact the commercial people who handle that part of multimodal path. It is not actually part of the Villages, it sounded like.

They did say they will send me an e-mail.

Checked my e-mail and I had received an e-mail from the person in charge of this division as far as I can tell around 12:30 PM EST 8/14/2018.

The call was from a staff member.

in the older districts there are overgrown Shrubs, Bushes, and plants Blocking the view of about every Enter and an exit off BV Especially In District 4. I have Reported certain areas and all they did was cute few leaves off. Good luck getting any thing done! I am Surprised there not accident ever week at Calumet Grove and BV every week Due to the Curve and Bushes/Shrubs Blocking traffic that comes around the bend at 40 plus.

This intersection pulling into the Southern Trace Shopping Center from CR101 either from the south or north gets a huge amount of traffic. Saw a woman with a seeing eye dog a few days ago and then there are the kids from the schools on CR466 as well.

This looks like they MIGHT have thinned it out but will soon be a problem again once it grows a bit more.

Yep, that's problem. They won't cut way back, it just bushes out in short time. Course for couple few years the shrubs/bushes was problem till they got to big and wasn't trimmed back before they got too large. IMO should be shrub over 2 foot within 150 foot from intersection. When vehicles come busting don't streets well over the speed limit it's take time from looking left then right then left again, then vehicle pops from behind the obstructions.
