Description
We would like to request that the massive tree in front of our house be taken down due to safety concerns. A large part of the root structure is above ground and I fear that if the tree were to over in a storm, the size of it would demolish any house it would hit. Some additional safety concerns: It constantly drops big branches which dent cars and could severely injury a person. The sidewalk in front is very in even due to the roots and pedestrians trip over it consistently. We can’t even park in front of our house do the root structure unless we park very far off curb so we can open car door far enough to get out. The root structure has caused water to constantly stay after it rains which results in lots of mosquitoes during the spring and summer to the point we can’t sit out front. We are all for planting trees in this ones place once it’s removed, we just don’t feel safe with the current tree now. Thank you, Arthur Hullett
