- Staff · October 25, 2023"Explosives and fire" (Requestor comments, above). Really?
- Staff · October 25, 2023Inspection finds small sidewalk tree vigorously growing. Appears it will have to be pruned >50% to provide visibility for bus stop. May have to be removed entirely. For this reason I am referring to UF, not CC.
- Staff · October 26, 2023Referring to UF (Urban Forestry). Created a new request for this (Evaluate Existing Tree), but am leaving original ticket open as well, in case UF determines that Grounds Maintenance can handle.
- Staff · October 26, 2023(Ref. UF - DPW156450 / CW514151)
- Staff · January 9, 2024FLW found no pruning done. Practically abated due to season (lack of foliage). Closing this SR since there has been no abatement or contact from UF
