Description
There is a safety issue here. If you stop at the stop sign coming down Ward St to Elm St you have to pull across the stop line painted on the road to see to your right due to the Brushes on your right. These bushes should be cut back so you don't have to pull across the stop line to see down to your right ( South Elm St and Ward St Extension)

The phone to public works is:
Public Works. 29 Town Farm Road (203) 294-2105
The town of Wallingford does not monitor this site. A couple of Councilors used to; I do not know if they still do.
Given that - the best, fastest way to make someone aware of this issue is to place a phone call from 9 to 5 during the work week.
If this is private property (and I believe it is if I am recalling the area from memory correctly) al they can do (possibly) is escalate to the police station about the safety issue (Public Works cannot take any actual action beyond that).

I just drove by there to see it. I understand your concern. It seems the bushes on the left are even more of a concern as that is the direction traffic is approaching the stop sign. I checked with Town Engineering and since the homes have been there for so long, there is no subdivision sight line restriction they could point to to require action. They suggested that the police could request something of the homeowners if they determine there is a public safety issue. I will contact the Traffic Division Lt. and ask him to take a look.
