Description

Vegetation originating from the private property along this stretch of the street is significantly overhanging the public roadway right of way. Multiple large conifers extend well into the travel lane envelope and appear to reduce vertical and horizontal clearance along the street. In several locations branches extend out over the roadway where vehicles travel and where garbage trucks and service vehicles regularly pass. The tree canopy also creates limited visibility and narrowing of the usable roadway width. Additionally, one of the conifers appears to be sparse and declining compared to the surrounding trees and may warrant evaluation for structural health and potential removal if it is determined to be dead or failing. Requesting an inspection by Urban Forestry / Public Works to determine whether the vegetation complies with Mercer Island right of way clearance standards and whether pruning, thinning, or removal of any hazardous trees is required to maintain safe roadway clearance.
