High winds during a thunderstorm on the evening of 7/5/23 caused large tree branches on the trail of RCA park to fall onto my fence. There is also a callery pear tree that almost exclusively hangs over the fence into my yard that I would like removed, if possible.
The tree in the front of my home is jeopardizing my and my neighbor's roofs. We have three large silver maples here surrounding my home. The neighbor's giant, healthy silver maple broke in multiple points during the recent storms, destroying my roof and the back half of my house. It's costing about 15k in repairs, and my insurance took half of my claim amount away in non-recoverable depreciation and the deductible, so I only have enough to fix the roof even though my ceilings, floors, walls and electrical fixtures were all damaged as well. Additionally, the flood damage caused extensive mold growth throughout the back of my house. We are trying to work together to take care of these trees so this does not happen again, especially since I have to replace the whole roof. They are working to address one of the trees by taking out a loan, but the one in front of my house is on city property, and it would be good for us to get those larger overhanging branches trimmed back. Howe St becomes like a wind tunnel over on this corner when it storms and the trees are dangerous at that height. Additionally, there is a tree on the back side of my property in the alleyway between my house and the Optima Dermatology Center. The tree is overgrown and pulling down on the power lines that are connecting the pole to my house and my other neighbor's house. I will contact Duke about this, but they said on their website that they will only address the portion that is affecting the main power lines, not the lower power lines. In this particular case, the tree is affecting both the lower and upper lines, so I'm not sure whose jurisdiction that would be. It would only let me include one image, but I have three that I can send you to get a better look.
I let you know there still grass on baseball field near pool
Hello, I cannot find a place on this website to enter a report of dead trees on public property. Please forward this to the right office: I'm concerned about dead trees that may be hazardous to cars or people, located in the forested public right-of-way (formally known as Davis St.) beside my house: at the dead end of the 1000 block of S. Ballantine. Can the city cut down some of these trees before they're blown onto cars or the street? Additionally, we have a huge dead tree between our house (1033 S. Ballantine) and the home behind us on Highland Ave. It abuts power lines, so I assume that this is either public property or a utility easement. I have tried (off and on) for a year to get Duke to remove it. No action. Can the city either remove this tree or persuade Duke to do so before it takes down all the wires that serve both Highland and Ballantine homes on this block? Thank you.
Lights along the B-Line are out: 45, 46, 47, 77, 110, 121, and 139 need fixing! And now #60, too. And yet more, now 94. Wondering what the percentage of lights not working needs to be before they get fixed.
Basketball courts and skatepark are both packed at the new Switchyard Park. Are the state mandated guidelines being enforced here?
A large, event-sized tent with fully closed sides is setup in Seminary Park.
Another little electrical box has been kicked over, possibly broken, on one of the street trees. Not sure if this is a parks thing or utilities.
Bolts holding down the edge of the ramp have pulled out. Huge trip hazard for the accessible ramp to this playground
Parking lot striping on this lot in Bryan Park and other parking lot just north of this one on Henderson is very hard to see. Can you please re-stripe these parking lots so spaces are more evident? Thank you.
