SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn. – City Commissioner Charles Reynolds wants a crackdown on trash and high grass along a heavily traveled road in South Pittsburg.

Reynolds said Second Street starting at Elm Avenue, which becomes State Highway 156, has become “pitiful to look at.”

“We’ve got a street here that’s very busy,” he said. “It’s not only high weeds, but also trash, junk cars and cars parked on the side of the street. It’s everything. This is something I’ve been complaining about for a long time.”

In some spots, drivers can’t see oncoming cars when turning onto Second Street because of high grass or cars parked too closely to the road, Reynolds said.

“The grass is getting so high that you can’t see over it,” he said. “It’s pitiful, and it’s a mess.”
