Description

numerous dead trees, dead limbs, overhanging the roadway. This has been unmaintained for 20 years, and in the last year, four trees have come down, closing the road, and in the past two months, six dead limbs, of sizes great enough to cave in roofs of autos, and/or shatter windshields, have come down. Neither PW or the Parks Department removed the limbs; individual Police Officers dragged them from the traffic lanes to reopen the roadway. Hamden handled tree removal, which closed the road when it happened. One falling limb caused a one vehicle MVA, as the operator of a small pickup truck, tried to avoid the falling limb, lost control, and his vehicle rolled over, and came to rest against a pole carrying an electric transformer. I have reported this several times over the past year. All reports, images, are being maintained in files.
