Press release from the city of Hendersonville:
Roadside mowing will begin on City streets this week. Residents are encouraged to maintain their property adjacent to street right of ways to avoid the need, and resulting affect, of our sidearm mower. We have 68 miles of streets to maintain, therefore utilizing the sidearm mower is the most effective way to manage this volume.
A general guideline for homes adjacent to roadways is to keep any bushes, tree limbs, or other things out of the roadway and 1-2 feet behind the curb or edge of pavement. The height should be approx. 16 feet above the road surface. For streets with sidewalks, the same applies for the roadway while sidewalks should be clear of obstructions to a height of 7-8 feet. Property owners near intersections are also asked to keep vegetation and debris trimmed far enough away from the intersections to allow motorists a reasonable line of sight before entering the intersection.
We appreciate your assistance as we work diligently to maintain our City streets. For more information please contact Public Works Department at 697-3084.
