Dead tree in City ROW along Washington Street.
Dead tree in City ROW along Washington Street.
Very large pin oak tree planted right next to the street is dead on at least half of it’s crown with dangerous branches broken and dangling over the street. Seems like a public hazard.
tree limbs broken and hanging low over parking area on the street. One limb is down and along the side of the road.
Tree on the corner of Lincoln and the alley between First United Methodist church and Graduate hotel has several large dead limbs (widow makers) and one limb has dropped on the sidewalk missing a parked car.
Last year the City replaced a dead tree in the tree plot with a service berry. However, the service berry is now more than half dead, including the main trunk. Can you replace it with something else? The City did water it all last year so I don't know what happened. Thanks.
I've noticed some Callery Pear growing up along the road on my back property line and would like them removed but they are touching some utility lines overhead. Not sure if they fall on city property or my own but need guidance to proceed.
The street tree at the SE corner of the property has limbs that hang low over the sidewalk. Would it be possible to have it trimmed up so that walkers can use the sidewalk without having to duck down? Thanks!
Honey locust in City ROW is stressed/diseased/dying. The Highpoint Neighborhood Association paid Less Huss to have this tree planted a few years ago. Is there something that can be done to save it? If a watering issue, neighbors can attend to that, but it's not clear if that is indeed the issue.
Maple tree on the 11th Street side of the east building is dying.
Large (beautiful) sycamore on the SE corner of Fess/11th is encased in vines, some of which are poison ivy. This is right by the sidewalk, and appears to be in the City ROW. Is the trimming of the vines the responsibility of the owner? Elevate says IU owns this parcel. It looks like the vines are so heavy that it is stressing the tree. There is also a large maple (?) just east of it that has some vines, but it only looks like a Euonymous.
