I've reported this problem before and now it's just getting ridiculous. These hedges have been hanging over the retirement home for well over a year now and now the pavement on the left side of the street is unwalkable because of it. The branches hang over into the street and it's causing pedestrians to have to walk in the road just to get past. This is an ongoing issue that needs to be solved ASAP. I can send pictures if needed.
