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.
The alley leading to 809 coming from 1st street- getting heavily covered in tree branches and the pot holes have gotten larger
Alley running between 1st & fess tree/weed overgrowth in alley scratching cars
The trees are overgrown on the side street and need to be cleared if possible. Thank you!
One of the Bradford pear trees damaged in the storm has a large branch -- at base probably 8-9" in diameter-- broken off and caught up on other branches about 20' up. I think a good wind will bring it down probably at least partially on the sidewalk. It's the middle of three Bradford pears on the east side of S Fess between 703 and 701. Could be the whole tree needs to be taken down? Thanks!
There is a big tree that has started falling towards Swain Ave. It is located just north of my property in an old city alleyway. Right now, the tree is held up by two communication lines. I called Duke and they said it was not their lines. I’d hate for it to fall onto someone’s car or worse on Swain Ave.
Dead tree in alley at the side of this rental house is uprooted but lying on electric wires. This is a hazard!
Tree is making cracking noise and the limb hangs over the sidewalk and street. Sap is frozen and high winds may make the limb fall anytime soon. Anthony’s tree and lawn service also looked at the tree. Not sure if it’s a City tree or not.
A tree of about 8 inches DBH and located about a foot from the curb on S. Highland Ave. has a lot of poison ivy on it. The poison ivy extends about 2 feet over the street, so is a danger to pedestrians and cyclists (there is no sidewalk on either side of this block of Highland). Furthermore, the ivy has several large clusters of green, immature seeds (see both photos). It is therefore imperative that all of this ivy be removed or killed soon, before the seeds mature and are spread by birds. The tree and poison ivy are located across the street (Highland) from a bright blue house (this is at the corner at E. Wylie and Highland). Thanks for taking care of this. Jeff Palmer
The Davis St. right of way, just south of my property is forested. I know that the city doesn't normally tend to the trees in this strip, but it's public property. I write because of two particular dead trees in this area--one a hazard to utility wires, the other temporarily leaning against a live tree but will eventually fall on our fence.May I show you these dead trees and ask if the city would be willing to remove them before they damage our property and the public utility lines?
