PETERBORG RESIDENTS PLEAD 'CUT THE BRUSH'

0

Residents in Estate Peterborg have had it with overgrown brush.
They've put up a hand-made sign at the entrance to the main Peterborg Road, just off the Magens Bay Road, that reads: "Caution: Dangerous, narrow road. Drive slow. Accidents are frequent! Watch for walkers and riders."
Brush has grown so high on both sides of the two-lane main road that it has turned into one lane.
A woman who said she did not want her name used for fear of reprisals said Peterborg residents have logged scores of phone calls to the Public Works Department over the last six weeks to complain about the problem and plead for help.
They've had many promises but so far no action.
Last week, she said, there were two head-on collisions involving neighbors who couldn't see each other on the winding road until it was too late. One resulted in a minor injury and major damage to one vehicle.
