This issue still has not been addressed. The trees in question are still not up to code, are still a hazard, and still need to be trimmed. Additionally, there are many other "city owned" trees that are not being maintained to code as well. It is not only ironic, but also unfair for the city to have this code, but to only selectively apply the code where and when they see fit. Either enforce the code uniformly, or change the code so that it applies equally to all.

Stan, the City does not monitor SeeClickFix on a regular basis. You can submit a request through our Ask Arvada system on our website arvada.org/

I do not know why, or how any representative of the city could come in here and close this issue. It is not closed, and has remained open for over 10 months. I have reported it on the AskArvada site over and over again, but nothing was ever done; not even acknowledging my service requests. I even went as far as to email Mayor Marc Williams about the trees at his law office. He said he would refer it to the city manager. Whether he did or not, I do not know, but I do know that nothing was done then, either. .

This matter is not closed. All of those trees have branches that are in violation of city code by having branches that hang closer than 10 ft. from the sidewalk. This is not only unsightly, it is a hazard to pedestrians who might want to use the sidewalk including mothers with strollers, and anyone who doesn't want a faceful of branches just to use the sidewalk. This is not the only place in the city, but it is the most conspicuous because it is right by the post office, everyone sees it, and it sends the message to all that the city does not enforce its code fairly and equally.

This remains a problem, and very little, if anything, is being done to correct it. The biggest problem occurs on city-owned property, and that of city officials.

"Ask Arvada" is not a solution at all. These complaints have been reported to "Ask Arvada" over and over again with no effect.

This is another problem that has escalated due to inadequate enforcement. The branches that once just blocked the sidewalk now hang over the street at unsafe levels. Additionally, the overgrown vegetation on this corner makes it difficult to see down the street on this busy, busy road creating a driving hazard for anyone in the vicinity. I used to think the city ignored code at this location due to the fact that the mayor has a business in the building, but that's not true. The city is equally negligent all over the city, and especially in places where there are businesses. I guess it's an effort ot appear more "business friendly" even at the cost of the health and safety of citizens.

It is now October 2014, and the problem has not been addressed. Also, this seems to be a problem all over the city. Code Enforcement must be short-staffed.

It is now November 2014, and not only has the problem not been addressed, it has become worse. It's particularly embarrassing because the office of the mayor's law firm is in this building. He has to be aware of the violations, and, yet, he does nothing. The branches here in some places are so low that even small children have to duck to avoid them. It is shameful that the city refuses to enforce code city officials while, at the same time, issuing citations on citizens for the same violations.

It is now December, the issue has been reported over and over again, and nothing has been done. It is very apparent that there is a double standard in this city - one standard applies to citizens, and another, separate, different standard applies to city officials, city employees, and city cronies.

The city does not care about such things unless they occur on the property of a citizen, and are turned in by a citizen. If the code violations occur on city property, or on the property of any business in the city, they are effectively ignored.

I am going to leave this issue open. It has occurred to me that the city is more interested in "thinking" they are doing a good job than in actually doing a good job. As long as they justify their actions to themselves, and only a few people who can be ignored are questioning them, then, in their eyes, they are doing their job, and there is no need to do any more.

It is obvious that the city has no intention of enforcing this law at this location. They may or may not choose to enforce it elsewhere in the city as the mood suits them, but this location is exempt from abiding by city code in this matter.

Branches still hanging too low over both the sidewalk, and the street. They won't do anything because this is where the Mayor has his business, and, as Mayor, he entitles himself to preferential treatment.

It is now March, 2015, and the problem has not been addressed. I suspect it never will be as long as this city has elected officials who feel the law does not apply to them the same way it applies to citizens.

It makes me so sad to live in a city where I pay taxes, where I work, and where I volunteer, not to be able to get any kind of positive response on any issue regarding enforcement of the law. I understand how a city can be busy, but, in a city of this size, it certainly seems acceptable to expect an issue to be addressed within a year's time, even if the response is the negative, disrespectful snub this city usually responds with. It is sad to know that the only matters of the law that are important in this city are what the city decides are important, when they decide they are important, and on whom they should be important. I guess it is important for citizens to know that they have no voice unless the city allows it, and unless the city decides that they are important enough to be heard. The rest of us must just deal with problems on our own as if no law existed.

Leave this issue open. Just because this is the Mayors's law office does not give anyone there the right to break the law. The city is handing out citations on people for the same and similar violations. It is time for the Mayor to step up to the plate and hold himself to the standards other citizens are required to maintain.

The problem still exists, and the Mayor not only still denies it, he also denies accusations that the city's reporting process is flawed. The Mayor defends the city's code enforcement policy even as city trees remain untrimmed, city weeds remain uncut, and people continue to openly smoke in Olde Town despite city ordinance against their activities.

The city has no intention at all of addressing this problem.

It is now August 8, 2015, and the city has done nothing to address this problem.

The problem exists all over the city. There are many places where people cannot even walk on the sidewalk without branches hitting them in the face, and the city does nothing.

The city only enforces its code when and where it wants to. If they like you, or you have status within the city, you pretty much have Carte Blance to do as you please. If, however, you are of the wrong party affiliation, or are otherwise "persona non grata," you can be expected to live up to the law to the letter. Now, obeying thelaw is not a bad thing, but when the law is only enforced on a few, it ceases to be law, and, instead, becomes persecution.

Branches still not trimmed.

This happens to be the law office of the mayor who believes the city's "home rule" means that he, and the city can interpret, enforce, and apply law as they please. This is an obvious example.

No improvement at all. The Mayor believes the city's status as a "Home Rule" city means the city, including the mayor, has no responsibility to obey any law it doesn't want to obey, but, at the same time, may enforce on, or apply to anyone else any law they deem fit to be enforced, and when.

No improvement

In our city, they go by "home rule" which, to them, means that they only enforce the laws they want to when they want to, and on whom they want to. Thus, being mayor means you don't have to obey the law at all if you do not want to.

They have no intention either of trimming those trees, or requiring them to be trimmed. City Code does not apply at that location.

No, the problem has neither been fixed, nor attended to. It has, however, taught me a valuable lesson about the importance of citizens in this community. That is, "Citizens only have value if the city says they do." This means that the only opinions that matter are those of elected officials, and all other are just plebes, peons, and by-products. The management of this city does not care one iota about the safety, health, and attitude of any citizen that is not in line with their own. They even only care about their own laws as a facade, and only enforce them when it benefits them.

Nothing has yet to be done...

Still unchanged, but it's worse now that Spring has sprung, and the trees have started growing again.

If anything, the problem has become even worse. The building can barely be seen from the road due to overgrown, overhanging branches.

And, in just one month, even worse still. There is now no way for a pedestrian to pass on the sidewalk on the north side of this property without getting a face full of branches. The worst part about this is this is the Mayor's property!

This is the property of the mayor's business. They don't have to follow any rules except the ones they choose to follow. For example, their sidewalk is not to code, but they don't have to change it because they are "grandfathered in," even though that applies to no one else in the city.

Of course the tree branches are still hanging too low. The mayor feels he is above the law, and that the laws do not apply to him.

Judginf from the response on this page, does it look like the city is going to address the issue in this century? Does it look like they even care? The city claims to have a policy of bieng "reactive" instead of being "proactive," but I would change that to "The city really has a policy of being "inactive" unless the mood hits them, they have the opportunity to enforce a law on someone they don't like, or "they" decide that maybe, just maybe they ought to enforce this one law just this one time....

Again, this property is the Mayor's property. In Arvada, the Mayor is not required either to obey the law, or follow City Code. Arvada is a "Home Rule" city which pretty much means they do whatever they want whenever they want, including enforcing code whenever they choose, and only on whom they choose.

This is the property of the mayor. I think it is outrageous that he uses his position to avoid obeying the law. It seems to me that a person in an elected position should be an example to other citizens by obeying the law instead of flaunting it like it's something for "other" people to mind. The worst part is that he's a lawyer, too, and he should know better.

This is the mayor's property. He doesn't have to obey the law. Only common citizens have to obey the law. For him, his family, and his friends, the law does not exist. For others, however, the story is quite different.

Apparently, the people at this address are immune from obeying the law that is applied to others. They do as they please, and no one stops them from doing it.

No visible improvement in all this time. It doesn't look like anyone has even tried to fix this problem. It is obvious that they understand they have special privilege.

Yawnnn! If it isn't apparent by now that the city chooses to apply its own laws only when and where it wants to, it should be. I've even given up reporting anything because I feel my efforts are futile, unappreciated, and even unwanted. Heck, I saw a stop sign plowed over by a careless driver a while back, and I didn't even bother to report that. To this day, it still remains in the bent over position the neighbor left it in, and I expect it will stay that way for a long time.

Well, Arvada is a "Tree City." I guess that means we have to deal with tree branches in our faces when we use the sidewalks, huh?

Leave it open.

This law was written into code both to improve the appearance of the city, and to allow people free access to use the sidewalks. For some reason, the city chooses only to enforce this and other laws when it suits them, instead of applying the law equally and fairly to all.

No change at all. I guess the law only applies to some people, and when those in power decide it should be applied.

I was just walking down the street yesterday with branches hitting me in the face, and having to dodge other, larger branches just for the simple act of wanting to walk on the sidewalk. This city is an embarrassment to America. I don't know if it's just blatant ignorance, or a designed effort to apply the law only on a few, and when and where officials choose, but, whatever it is, it makes a mockery of our legal system.

No improvement

Trees still hanging low, and no one is doing anything about it.

Here is another law that is only enforced when it is convenient to the officers charged with enforcing it because, of course, they have the right and authority to "interpret" the law, and on whom it should be enforced, right?

I can still take you down nearly every street in this city, and point out branches in violations of city code. The city only enforces code, especially this one, when it suits them.

The problem has not been addressed at all, and is worse than ever.

Like so many laws in this city, this law is only enforced on people the city "chooses" to enforce it on. Everyone else is pretty much safe no matter what they do.

Code Enforcement and Law Enforcement in general are a big joke in Arvada. It's not because they don't have good intentions, but, rather, because they aren't intelligent enough to understand the law, and how it is only law when applied equally to all.

Do you get the sense that the city could not care less, and that nothing will ever be done about this violation? If you do, then you are right. That's the way law is enforced in Arvada.

I sincerely believe that the people charged with enforcing the laws in the city of Arvada believe that they are good, honest, and doing a good job. The unfortunate aspect of that is that they also think they are entrusted with interpreting the law, too. The reality of that means they enforce the law unevenly, and unfairly because they decide which laws will be enforced, when they will be enforced, and on whom. If they like you, you are wealthy, or you are related, then the laws rarely apply. If, however, you are not in their "group," then anything goes, and they will "find" a law, or some obscure aspect of the law to fit the situation they need to cite you.
It is so sad because the "think" they are being righteous when all they are doing is persecuting those citizens who not fit their "mold."

I notice they are doing work over there, and it occurred to me it would be a good time to trim the trees, but I doubt that will happen.

Keep it open until they do something about it.

I cannot understand why the city is so reluctant to enforce its own laws. If the laws are there, enforce them. If they don't want to enforce them, change them. It simply is not fair to pick and choose which laws to enforce, and which laws to ignore the same as it is not fair to pick and choose on whom laws will be enforced, and on whom those will not be enforced.

It's a shame that they are doing construction and renovation over there, and have the perfect opportunity to address a number of codes issues, but aren't doing it because no one is requiring it.

It is easier for the city to ignore problems, and "close" them than it is to actually do something about the problems because, of course, even if something is law, and is hazardous, it's not worth bothering about unless they say so.

The construction continues, and nothing has been done about the branches. Crews just work around them...

I am of the opinion that the city only enforces code in this regard when they want to, and on whom they choose. The city's policy of being "reactive" instead of being "proactive" means they won't enforce code unless a citizen reports it, and, then, they only enforce if they don't like the people being reported.

Problem is pervasive throughout the city.

I am going to be proactive and start flagging, and closing every ignorant remark, and post you make. This forum is for safety, and the welfare of the people in this community. It is not a place for you to drive around on your 3 wheeled tricycle, and play Barney fife. Take your meds, and quit spamming these forums with ridiculous outbursts. If you truly are unhappy with our fine city, and it's hard working staff, run for office. I personally have had great experiences with the police, water dept., code enforcement, and city maintenance workers.

The laws are in place to protect everyone. People need to trim back the branches for a variety of reasons. One of those reasons is to reduce the risk of fire, and its ability to jump from house to house. If people have issue with the law, they should not assault the people who ask that the laws be enforced, but, rather, should approach their leaders and law enforcement who are entrusted with making and enforcing laws. Laws are there to protect us all, even this one. The law should apply equally and fairly to all, not just to people who elect to follow them and be good, conscientious citizens.

I guess you would most likely complain about a child's lemonade stand as well. I suppose you have never thrown a gum wrapper on the ground, or spat on the sidewalk. You most likely never just walked through a store either.Your being ridiculous

Issue has not been addressed, changed, or remedied in any way, shape, manner or form. Keep it open until the City decides to enforce its own code.

The trees are comforting, and I believe are safely trimmed. I believe this matter should remain closed.

I checked on this, too, and the problem has not been fixed. Leave it open.

I am pleased that the city appears to be taking more interest in code enforcement after many years of neglect, but I am afraid their efforts may be coming too late. People have become accustomed to lax enforcement that has, in essence, established a new "low bar" for expectations. So, even if the city attempts to correct an issue, no one is taking them seriously, and they all revert back to the new low standard as soon as the officers leave. The city has dug themselves a big hole, and I'm afraid they may not be able to find a way out.

This issue is no longer ongoing and has been re-mediated. It therefore should remain closed. By continuing to re-open and comment you are in violation of the terms of these forums. I will report you as such, and move to have you banned from the forums.

The problem has neither been remediated, nor fixed. It still exists. I went by there today, and there is still the problem.

If you want to remove honest, law-abiding citizens from your forums, that's your business. It won't solve any of the problems listed here, and it won't solve any future problems either. Still, if you have the power to do so, and you want to, there is nothing I can do about that, but what would it say about the city's true conviction to citizen input?

This, and every issue I have reported are all code violations in the City of Arvada. There are many, many more that I have not reported. I seriously can walk down any street in this city and find numerous violations that need to be fixed in order to maintain the type of city people want to live in; the kind of city I expected when I moved here. These are't big things, and they aren't difficult to resolve, but, yet, people choose to vilify me for reporting them instead of either doing anything about the issues, or even "asking" other citizens to do their part to follow the intent of the code better. It seems to me that priorities are bit mixed up, and if that's the way things are, then go ahead. Remove me. I will not report another incident, and I will do absolutely nothing further to try to help this city become a clean, orderly, law-abiding city of the type honest people want to live in. I'll turn my head when I see weeds three feet tall on every corner, cars parked on the front lawn, firecrackers going off at 3:00 a.m, and people trashing city parks because, apparently, that's the way the city wants it, and prefers it; because the city chose to "censure" me for trying to do my civic duty rather than to address any issue of code violation at all.

All the violations you continue spamming are minuscule in nature, and have been noted. By continuing to do this you are in violation yourself in the rules of this forum. Grieve it, and leave it. DO NOT continue to comment about your dissatisfaction with our city, and it's staff. Please attend a city council meeting, and voice your concerns there.

This is not spam. This is a legitimate issue that has been open since January 2014, and has not been addressed. To close this issue without addressing the problem is like giving "Carte Blanche" to all citizens to forget trimming their trees since the law applies equally and fairly to all. It is not equal, fair, and honest law enforcement if the city requires some citizens to follow the law, but allows other leeway to do as they please. A law that does not apply equally and fairly to all ceases to be a law, and becomes instead "persecution."

Stan you are guilty of this as well, as your neighbors have complained that your tree limbs have fallen twice across the property line, and damaged vehicles. Please clean up your own yard first.

You are wrong. There have never been any branches from my trees falling across anyone's lawn, ever. I accuse you of lying, and defy you to produce documented evidence to the contrary.

It is not a solution to an issue simply to tell the person reporting the issue to shut up, to tell him he should run for office, to tell him he should take his issue before City Council, or simply to refuse to do anything at all about it.
If nothing is going to be done, that's fine, and expected, but it is not a reason to "close" any issue. Do nothing, if that is your inclination, but leave the issue open until such time as someone decides it is worthwhile to enforce the law.

I don't need to prove anything. But I can prove that the innocent man that you are accusing of living in his camper, and has turned it into an addition to his house is a huge exaggeration. It's a small pop up camper that he has parked in the back, behind a closed fence, and is maintaining a battery. Pretty much a battery charger.

It's a good thing you "don't need to prove anything," because it would be impossible in this case. Additionally, you comment about a man living in a camper, but this post is about limbs that need to be trimmed. The camper has nothing to do with the limbs, and, thus, the issue cannot be closed.

you respond to all your tickets the same way, so why not just create a "The city picked on me, and I want them to pick on everyone else ticket"

I hope there really is a "real" monitor reading, and deciding on these posts. I want someone with real authority to see how agents of the city treat their citizens who try to do their civic duty. I hope the site monitors will read the entire thread of each post to see how the city's agent chastises a law-abiding citizen for reporting a violation rather than fixing it. I want the monitors to see how an agent of the city resorts to name-calling, calling citizens "Nazis" rather than enforce the law. I want the monitors to see, and report back to people in authority how these sites are useless because they are manned with people who do not want to do anything, and who "favor" people they consider "nice." I sincerely believe that I could only get an issue attended to here if the agent of the city thought I were "nice." But, since that agent thinks I am the bad guy, he ignore my post, insults me, and closes my issues without ever doing anything in the way of a resolution.

I feel fully vindicated about my comments in regard to the city and its level of enforcement, and all the proof anyone needs to support that claim is right here in these threads. Just today, I was driving down Dover Street, and I saw at least four houses with branches hanging too low over the sidewalk; some as low as three feet from the ground, but I know the city didn't see it, and I know the city would do nothing about it if I reported it because I am not considered a "nice" person, even though I am as nice as any person you will ever meet in Arvada.

Again, I am perfectly okay with nothing being done about these issues. Many have been open, and ignored for as long as eight years. I have no expectation that they will ever be fixed, but I do not feel they should be closed, either, since they are not "fixed." Don't do anything. That's fine, But, don't close an issue, and say you fixed it when you did nothing at all. Just leave it open for the world to see.

Stan, we will leave these issues open, if you discontinue commenting on your own threads. Make your statement, and leave it for others to view, and comment on. Please do not continue to add negative comments, after negative comments. Allow others to view, and comment, and give the city time, and space to attend to issues. Not all issues will be afforded the same tenacity as you so desire, or at the time you so desire.

Once a month, the site contacts me as to whether or not my issues have been closed. Almost always, I report that they have not been closed, and leave an appropriate comment.

I disagree with your suggestion that my comments are "negative." My comments are "factual," and you, yourself have proved everything I have asserted with your responses. I am only being honest.

What is a citizen supposed to say when issues stay open and unaddressed for eight years or longer? What am I supposed to say when agents of the city close an issue without even attempting to address it? What am I supposed to say when agents of the city choose to attack an honest citizen with names like "Nazi," or counter with boundless accusation when that citizen is doing no more that what is requested by this site?

I believe everything I have said about the city is factual, provable, and, most of all, quite sad. I fail to understand the city's antagonism toward me, and their choice rather to pursue the path of chastising me than to do anything positive about the numerous code issues that affect the city and all of its citizens.

I have been threatened before with removal, and, if that is the only course of action you choose to take, then so be it. It certainly would be easier than addressing the many code problem facing the city, but won't change a thing. It won't make the city a better place to live, it won't make the city's code enforcement any more attentive, and it won't change the commitment of citizens like me to improve the city we live in.

I know you and others do not understand. I can't help you with that. It all has to do with our own, personal values, and only you can change yours. In our daily lives, we all have to decide how well we are going to do our daily work, and who is at fault when we fail. Apparently, the city's failure is my fault because I have the audacity to point out that the "Emperor has no clothes."

Stan, the city takes all concerns brought on by it's residents, seriously. They are looked at, in order of Safety, Quality of life for all involved, and lastly efficiency, and the ability to police, and enforce without trampling the first two of all involved. Leave it open if you feel you absolutely have to. Leave the our Mayor, and negative comments about the city and it's staff out of it. The emperor's new clothes is the correct title, and is a Children s" book.

Trees blocking the sidewalks is a serious violation. I guess it would be acceptable if it were one or two places around the city but it is ALL OVER. I know the city can't possibly get to every one, but they can at least try. If the city is not going to enforce the law, even when violations are reported, how can citizens ever respect the city or the law enforcement of that city? People will become complacent, and feel they can get away with anything. Then, what will you do?

It's a shame that they are taking the time to upgrade the parking lot and building at this site, but are doing nothing about the trees, or correcting the problems with the sidewalk.

It's very peculiar that they have been doing improvements on the property for quite some time now, but no one has lifted a finger to trim back those branches. It's kind of an epidemic on that block. There are also four-foot high weeds in some front yards nearby.

I seriously thought that someone would have had the foresight to trim those branches while all the construction is going on, but I was wrong. You know, people still walk, and they need those sidewalks clear of hazards to do so. Branches hanging in people's faces are a hazard.

The construction continues, and so does the growth of those branches. Nothing has even been attempted.

This is a serious problem all over the city. Now, the city is talking about "widening" certain roads, and lining them with trees. So, who's going to trim those tree branches if they do? The city's not going to do it. There are places where the branches are so overgrown, one cannot see around the corner to tell if there is any oncoming traffic. It has gotten to the point of being dangerous, and, yet, the city does nothing. I'll bet if there is an accident, the city will blame it on the driver instead of their own neglect.

I sincerely wish the city would enforce the law better both here, and around the city. The city has an issue on the November Ballot in regard to widening the sidewalks, but how can we vote for that when they can't keep even keep the trees trimmed well enough so that people can see down the street to view oncoming traffic?

Leave it open. It hasn't been fixed, and no fix has been attempted.

I sincerely do not care if people trim their branches within code, or not, but I am concerned about both being able to walk on the sidewalk without having to dodge branches that hang in your face, and the safety issues with being able to see down a busy street like Ralston Road.

Now is the perfect time to address this problem since the branches don't have leaves, and are easier to trim, but few people are doing anything. The warmer, drier weather has provided additional opportunity that few are taking advantage of. This really is a serious problem that the city is completely ignoring.

The problem still exists here, and around the city. It does little good to make a walkable community, and not keep the walks clear of things like branches, or snow.

No improvement in all this time.

The reason citizens need to shovel the snow off their walks is so that pedestrians can pass. This is true for branches hanging in people's faces, too. But, in Arvada, not much is done about either.

I noticed they were doing work over there on the sidewalks, and it seems to me that this would have been the perfect time to bring their sidewalks to code. I complained about their sidewalks before, and the Mayor said they weren't required to bring their sidewalks to code because they were "grandfathered" in. Well, the grandfathering went out when the new construction went in, and they should have brought their sidewalks to code. At the same time, they should have trimmed their trees as well. It is obvious at this point that they have no intention of maintaining code, and that the city has no intention of requiring them to do so. Perhaps the city has a plan in mind like the one they used at the old Arvada Plaza where they ignored code until the place became "blighted," and then the city gave them "blighted" status to receive special perks from the taxpayer wallet?

Seriously, there are a lot of branches all around the city that need attention, and not only at this location.

I cannot believe they did all that work on the sidewalks there, and didn't bother to address the problem with the trees. The sidewalk, by the way, is not to code. It was "grandfathered" in before, and I suppose they got some kind of special variance of the kind the city likes to give away to its favored citizens, but, still, can we fix those trees? People walk down those streets.

Still no improvement at all, and no indication that there ever will be.

Open since January of 2014, and still unaddressed...

No action in over five years, and going strong...

Leave this issue open

After all these years, nothing has been done. Arvada just tucked their heads between their legs, and ran. They are not interested in enforcing any code or law. They are only interested in giving the impression of doing so to ingratiate themselves with uninformed citizens.

Violation has not been remedied, neither here, nor anywhere else around the city.

The problem has only existed for six years. Other problems have persisted for nine. I am sure the city is on it, and will get to it eventually.

This entire corner was "remodeled," no one thought to trim the branches. Branches hanging too low are a problem all over the city, but no one seems to care. I reported a violation once, and the city agent responded to me, "You're just trying to get people in trouble," but didn't have anything to say about the law being ignored. I guess they feel they are entitled to pick and choose which laws to enforce, and on whom. We certainly wouldn't want to get anyone in trouble...

The problem persists throughout the city.

The biggest problem in this city is law enforcement is allowed to decide which crimes are enforceable, and on whom. I once contacted the city about an illegally parked motor home. They responded to me with, "You're just trying to get people in trouble," but they would not allow me to do the same, and park my motor home anywhere on the street.

It's so sad. This could be such a nice, little city if they would only follow, and enforce their own rules, but they don't.
