There is a huge, beautiful sycamore tree at the northwest corner of Wylie where it intersects with Henderson St. Hard to tell if this is a homeowner tree or in the easement, but the tree is really right hard up against Henderson on one side and Wylie on the other, hardly any clearance away from either street, so I am guessing it is in the public easement. The sight lines trying to turn onto Henderson from Wylie are already tough just because of the size of that tree, but the problem now is new branches have begun growing out low down out of the side of the tree. They are extending now right directly into the sight line as one tries to look north on Henderson before turning from Wylie. I know the neighbors living at that house on that lot have mentioned watering the tree a lot in recent years and that the tree has responded with new growth. But an accident is now certain to occur unless one is extremely careful and nudges one's car into Henderson almost to see around the new luxuriant limbs and leaves that are getting bigger and bigger. This summer it has been really noticeable. The limbs are not huge and they are low, at human level, so trimming would be very easy. I think it would be a very good idea for the city to take care of this before a t-bone accident happens at that intersection. If this isn't a public tree, can the city inform the homeowner that this is becoming a danger to traffic safety so that they can get it cut ASAP? Thank you.

When turning south from 15th street to N Madison Street, there is a bush that makes it difficult to see the southbound traffic on N Madison Street. This creates a hazard when completing this turn. If possible , please trim or remove this bush. Thank you!

There is a walnut tree that is in the easement between our house and the trailer park next to us. My wife has been told that the city won’t do anything about it unless it is “causing damage.” It constantly drops walnuts onto our roof. This is not only annoying and loud all the time, but will cause damage to my roof over time. I would say that is “causing damage.” We would love if the city would step up and do something about it.

On the morning of July 11, I found a large branch that had fallen into the street, blocking about half of the roadway. A few hours later, another branch from the same tree fell onto the sidewalk. Both branches were removed promptly after I reported the issues, and I appreciate the quick response. However, I am concerned about the health of the tree, as falling branches could pose a safety risk to pedestrians or passing vehicles. Would you please arrange for someone to evaluate the tree's condition? Thank you!
