An alternative rock star, best known as the frontman for 311, is growing his fan base in a new way after making his neighborhood a safer place to drive.
Singer and songwriter Nick Hexum recently posted a video highlighting the overgrown corner of an intersection in the city of Calabasas. Hexum said he’s seen “a lot of wrecks and close calls” there.
“This corner is dangerous. Here at Mulholland and Old Topanga. This is a blind corner where cars get where drivers get lost in this curve,” Hexum said in the video posted to X on Tuesday.
In Hexum’s video, the brush had clearly overgrown the railing, partially obscuring the view of motorists as they attempt to turn left onto Mulholland Highway.
“Yeah, I could call the city. Who knows how long that would take? Who knows how long I would sit on hold? Why don’t I just get in there and get it done?” he says in the video.
Inspired by the good deeds he’s seen his daughter accomplish in the Girl Scouts, Hexum opted to take matters into his own hands, paring back the plants with large garden shears.
“Now look at that. Much better sight lines, Mission accomplished,” Hexum says while showing cars now visible in the same area where they were hidden just a few minutes earlier.
