Dear Red Phone,
Who is responsible for making sure plants and shrubs on the side of city streets are not creating a visibility hazard for motorists? One bad area is up and down Depot Street. As you’re exiting First, Second, Third and Fourth streets you have to pull all the way into the middle of Depot Street in order to see if any cars are coming from the north due to the vegetation between the curb and the sidewalks.
Thank you,
Blindsided in Morgan Hill
Dear Blindsided,
Morgan Hill Program Administrator Anthony Eulo said city staff are glad you asked this question for two reasons.
“First, the city is happy to receive this report so we can go out to assess the situation and schedule any needed trimming. Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention,” Eulo said. “Second, your information serves as a perfect example of community engagement and how all of us are responsible for reporting conditions that may need attention by the city or a private property owner. When community members see something that concerns them, we want them to contact us to report the problem so we can address it.”
In the future, you can contact city staff directly with questions or complaints about your local public works services, at
ge*****@mo********.gov
or (408) 779-7271.
