Description

It has come to my attention that your Park Rec Department is in charge of tree trimming along our city streets. My neighbors and I are deeply concerned about the lack of attention my neighborhood is getting

even when you and the department heads have toured the neighborhood and seen the overgrowth for yourself.

I live at 151 Starr St and have 2 giant older trees that are enchroaching the other side of the street. They have been dropping smaller branches on vehicles and the roadway and sidewalks for quite some time. I

also want to bring this to your attention, the branches have entwined themselves around electrical wires and if those branches keep swaying in the wind , hit buy a truck or just come down , I am afraid it will take

the electrical service down with it or hit someone walking down the sidewalk . These trees are quite old and the root system is starting to lift the sidewalk and encompass the house where i live . I hate to think what

they are doing for the underground gas,sewer and water mains. That could be another reason to remove them.

I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and can not afford the expense of such a thing. When big trucks come down the street the tops of them drag on the branches.This is a accident waiting to happen and

would be a terrible situation and would like some help from your department
