Editor:
The Albany Democrat-Herald recently had a story about an aggressive invader: Scotch broom.
And it reminded me to finish this letter.
Is that what’s blocking my view at the corner of Oak Terrace and Hwy. 228 – Scotch broom? I vote we remove it, then on Oak Terrace (east bound) put in a right-hand turn lane. Actually, that whole intersection needs to be redesigned (but not by the same fellows who did Main Street).
At the corner of Hwy. 228 and Evergreen Lane we have two problems:
(1) A holly tree that blocks drivers’ clear vision of oncoming eastbound Hwy. 228 traffic. It needs to be removed once and for all.
I wish the owner or the city would please do so.
(2) Looking in the opposite direction we have these scrubs planted next to the sidewalk that block the view of westbound Hwy. 228 traffic that is charging to get up and over the hill.
I almost got hit by a logging truck because of those plants. They should be removed as well starting at Evergreen Lane and on up to the Stone Brook Apartments driveway.
They serve no purpose and are ugly to boot.
