DUPLICATE 002934-26CPCSB 26-00031749 There are several overgrown/oversized bushes taking over the side walk pathway at the NW 85th St & 15th Ave NW West bus stop. These need to be severely trimmed back/completely removed. Not only are they limiting sidewalk space for people waiting for buses at that busy bus stop, but they are also impeding pedestrian sidewalk access for walkers, those with mobility concerns, etc. I believe they belong to that apartment complex.
