This tree is going to fall over very soon. We would like to remove this tree as fast as possible. If the tree were to fall, it would hit the power line and cut off the power for the majority of the street. In addition, the cars parked on that street could also be damaged when the tree falls. I understand it is private property technically, but I feel like their landlord should allow this.
Bradford pear on the northeast side of the church property that is in the tree platt and listed as a city tree is overgrown and totally surrounds power, cable and phone lines. It needs to be removed. Thanks!!
Hanging over the street pieces falling
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!
Large tree limb broken by utility truck will likely break off soon
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.
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.
On the north side of Cottage Grove, east of Indiana Ave, there is poison ivy on one of the trees in the tree plot. It is on one the trees a little further east than the parking information sign.
On the north side of E Cottage Grove, just in front of number 711, there is poison ivy on the two trees in the tree plot.
We watched as a swarm of bees relocated themselves to a large Maple tree at the corner of 11th and Washington. We are not concerned having the bees around, and love the tree, but have some concern for the health of the tree. The bees entered the tree through several openings, so it is obviously hollow to some extent. I am asking if you have someone to assess the tree since it is on city property. Thank you.
