Wanted to see if the parks and rec department could come take a look at the Beech tree on the north side of Maxwell (marker used above). Several really large dead branches that are dangerously falling in a piecemeal way. The overall health of the tree is in steady decline, and it may be easier for the city to remove it now before it is completely rotten. Thanks!
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!
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.
The water fountain at third street park is not draining. Also, some of the railings around the decorative fountain are loose at their bases.
The dog portion of this drinking fountain is not working. Just wanted to let you know!
Dirty needle found by parent on concrete stairs
Possible dead tree at risk of property/house damage: needs to be assessed, if City tree, needs to be removed
Poison ivy is growing into the walking and bike lane all along Southdowns. This is a hazard to people walking, children, and pets who will transfer the oils to their owners.
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
