There are so many screws in this tree now. Any chance it could be removed? The original tenant moved out so I don't know who is doing this now.

Large Yellowjacket nest next to street in tree between the street and public sidewalk. They are swarming and flying in and out of the nest constantly. This area has children from a daycare center and nursing home residents walking by every day all day. These are black aggressive yellowjackets that are constantly in the air. Is this something the city takes care of?
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.
Some kind of squirrel feeder constructed around tree in RoW.

Hi! Our yellowwood street tree has a small branch partially broken and hanging down in the road. I was wondering if you could please come and cut it? It’s a ragged break so I’m not sure exactly the best way to cut it. Thank you!
We have lost about a third of this tree this year. We tried to send pictures of other angles but there appears to be just one allowed. The branches are falling with wind and without wind. It is an eyesore and the sidewalk has also separated and moved by the tree.
Wind last night blew down a tree limb into the stree at 317 E. Lakewood Dr. You may want to cut down the tree altogether as it's roots are tearing up grass and the side walk and is also all around street light pole.
Tree on the city side of the side walk is unsafe and has had 4 large branches fall into the road randomly during times of normal weather, no rain or winds. There are more branches that look as though they will break any day and will fall into the street and sidewalk. The sidewalk is a busy sidewalk and that portion of the road is often used for parking for people visiting the area. The tree has been spray painted with a pink dot, if that means anything. Thank you Roxie Barnes
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.
