Description
This is a repeat request...... The last couple of storms have caused limbs to drop and this tree needs attention..... This elm tree has branches that are approaching the home at 4402 and 4404 W. Grace St. Also lots of dead branches inside the structure of the tree that are dropping on parked cars and sidewalks, and has low-hanging branches that are hitting some delivery vehicles and hanging over the sidewalk. Needs some attention to keep things from getting worse or causing damage. Street cleaning took place today 8/26/25 and the city truck doing the cleaning hit this tree in two places. It broke out a branch 20 feet or so in length and drove away without even moving it off the sidewalk. Attached are pics of the way I found the tree and sidewalk when i went out to move cars. Come on now, this is not what is expected. Either clean-up tree or remove it entirely, this has been going on for three requests in 3 years. If RVA employees can't do their job. DO SOMETHING
