Description
At 734 44th street the gigantic agave plant shown in the photo is now more than halfway into the sidewalk. The huge fleshy 'leaves' have sharp hard spines on the tip and hard teeth along each edge. These spines and teeth easily pierce and cut into human skin drawing blood. This is a serious hazard for children and adults walking on this sidewalk.
