There would be no problem reaching those blackberries. I have no equipment or money to hire anybody with equipment as I am a single mom on disability. Another season and my shed will be completely covered. I don't understand your excuse for refusing to take care of it? Because the operator already spent a full day out there on Prospect you can't come back out to do this for a single woman on disability? Or is it because you don't do it as a general rule so you won't do it for someone who cannot do it themselves? I guess I'm just screwed - again. Story of a disabled person's life. Not only do we have to deal with our pain and illness, we are not afforded any help with things like this and our property goes to hell. Insult to injury. Thanks anyway!

We are not sufficiently equipped or staffed to clear the entire public right of way (typically 60’ wide) for 400 miles of county road. You are welcome to clear further along your property beyond the swath that we maintain to permit safe road usage and more frequently than these slow-moving operations are able to visit side roads.

Do you think they could take a swipe (or 2) down W. Island View between Duquesne and N. Gary? The blackberries on county property are ruining my fence. Pic shows my fence from my backyard. The blackberries in that spot are growing clear out to the road. Thanks! Kelly Brebberman 103 N Gary Ave PT 360-774-2409 Stay Healthy Happy Safe and Warm! Kelly
