Dead street tree right across from trades garage and b line heights
There are a number of trees on the south side lane of Gentry Blvd. just off Highway 446 that are low hanging and scrape the top of cars. They are particularly low at the intersection of Gentry Boulevard and Gentry Court. Please send crews to trim them to remove the hazard.
In Bryan Park and Elm Heights, most (all?) tulip poplar trees are dripping honeydew. I am an entomologist and know that this is fairly normal but I’ve never seen it on such a large portion of trees.
The city trees between the sidewalk and street lower branches are in the way of walkers and some are dead and brittle posing a safety issue for pedestrians.
As I reported last year (ticket #181156) there is poison ivy on one of the street trees in the tree plot. These trees are in the Treekeeper database and so I must assume that they are under the city's care. The photo here shows a robust, hairy vine and the berries have come in. It needs to be removed before the birds poop the seeds around.

A tree planted by the city a few years ago was damaged by the storm today, June 25 2023. A large branch has fallen, blocking the sidewalk. It is too large for us to move. The city will have to remove it and probably plant a new tree.
Mature Maple tree along the street in front of the house has one large dead limb over the sidewalk & one large cracked limb over a parking spot.
There are a lot of big tree limbs and sticks piled up in the creek area between Sheridan and Southdowns just west of Hawthorne. The large limb in the attached photo is leaning against the tree and could fall.
