3 Bradford Pear street trees in need of trimming
3 Bradford Pear street trees in need of trimming
The request is for removing three street trees from our residence. An arborist informed me the 3 trees are Bradford Pear trees, an evasive tree. He suggested that I contact the city for removal. The trees are overgrown and presents a hazard to vehicles and pedestrians
Coming home from Ivy Tech Community College, where I work as a part-time custodian, on TAPP Road, just past the roundabout, there was a Log approximately 6 inches in cross-section diameter with a spike-like branch approximately 5 inches in length and a couple of smaller pieces of wood. I swerved to avoid contact but the wood hit the bottom and rear of my car hard. I had to hit my passenger front bumper and driver rear bumper back in place. I did this after I pull into the Marathon gas station on the corner of Winslow and Walnut. The time was approximately 2:30 am.
The mulberry tree in the right of way is leaning and likely to fall soon. It should be removed. Also the bank looks unstable.
