WASHINGTON, D.C. – June 22, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — Residents are being reminded that under Township of Teaneck, Ordinances 37-9, corner properties near intersections, where applicable, must be maintained and have shrubbery, hedges, brush and all plant life kept to a height of no higher than 2 ½ feet from the level of the street. This will allow motor vehicle operators a better opportunity to see oncoming traffic, vehicles making turns, pedestrians and bicycle operators, so as to help prevent unnecessary injuries or fatalities. At intersections where signalized, no sight-triangle easement shall be required, as per ord. 33-15(n).
See below for full ordinance:
