A Tucson intersection is safer now.  In an effort to keep our roads safe, as we focus on Operation Safe Roads. 

Tucson's Department of Transportation trimmed back plants that made it hard for drivers to see oncoming traffic.
     
A KGUN9 viewer asked us to look into tall plants at the intersection of Country Club and Elvira.
The plants did make it hard to see northbound traffic on Country Club.
     
When KGUN9 let TDOT know about the issue, they assigned it to a supervisor and one of the city's rapid response teams.
     
Now, after some trimming, it's easier to pull out safely.
