Hedge in the way

I don't need to tell most of you what a bustling place the Kennett Y is (particularly now that the cardio room is open again). And as all those fit people leave the Y, they head either left or right onto Race Street. This item is about what happens when you head left out of the driveway, and then try to make a left turn onto eastbound Cypress Street -- say you want to stop at the Country Butcher, or meet a friend for coffee at Starbucks.
Imagine that intersection, if you will. Are you there? Look to the right, up the hill. What's there blocking your view? A hedge. So you inch out a little further so that you can see any oncoming traffic (there is always oncoming traffic). But because of the hedge, you have to pull so far out that the people who are turning onto Race Street give you dirty looks.
My solution? I think the hedge needs to go, and I'm surprised the usually safety-minded borough hasn't approached the homeowner about it. It blocks the sight distance and creates a traffic hazard at a very busy intersection.
It needn't be an expense for the homeowner. Put up a sign in the Y lobby and I'll bet you'd get a dozen volunteers showing up with saws and clippers. The hedge would be gone in a morning. I'll volunteer to put in a nice groundcover instead. A nice LOW groundcover.
(Update: After reading this, a member of Kennett Borough Council told me he's looking into this situation! Thanks, Dan.)
