Of neighbors and hedges

To the Editor,

Thank you to our Cornell Avenue neighbor who was seen trimming their hedge to improve sightlines at the dangerous, accident-heavy corner of Cornell and Yale. When they moved in, that little family did not ask to be center stage in a drama around how to make that corner safer. The height of that hedge has been roughly the same over the last 20 plus years. Our gratitude goes out to our neighbor, who wielded their hedge trimmer and, one hopes, made us all safer as a result.
