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!
Dead tree in between sidewalk and street where cars park. Please remove and happy to have another tree planted in its place.
At the Sherwood Oaks Park we need a short connecting paved path at the north end where the north/south path (almost) meets the east/west sector. When the gate is closed, pedestrians have to slog through mudpuddles or walk on slippery compacted snow to go from one paved trail to the other. Perhaps when you have equipment out there now repairing the flood damage on the NW corner, the crews could lay this small, but extremely helpful addition.
A big branch broke from the tree and is blocking the sidewalk. It is still attached to the tree.
The large maple tree at the front of Fire Station #3 was struck by lightning about a year ago, the tree is showing signs of degeneration, and there are Large limbs that hang down over the apron of the fire station that protrude into the driving path of our emergency apparatus. I have asked for the tree to be removed, however the tree has some large deadfall limbs hanging over the sidewalk (Fall Hazard to pedestrians) and about 6-7 limbs that need to be removed to render it safe. This is a huge safety issue and needs to be addressed. The limb that hangs over the apron needs to be removed to allow apparatus to safely enter and exit the bay of Fire Station #3.
I am reporting a second dead tree behind my house that is on the street side of the sidewalk. This one is also covered in vines.
Tree limbs blocking sidewalk hanging low over it
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
Hello. I was on the TreeKeeper website awhile back and saw that there used to be a tree in the parkway between the sidewalk and 13th street. Is it possible for there to be another tree planted there sometime? Thank you for the consideration. This is the data from TreeKeeper: Site Information Vacant site small 705 W 13th ST, Front Site ID 38154 Species Vacant site small DBH 0 Park Name N/A
There are multiple low-hanging trees along S Park Ridge Road that make the sidewalk difficult to walk on. I believe these are city-maintained trees on the easement.
