Description

Vegetation originating from private property along this section of roadway is severely overgrown and extending into the public right of way. Dense brush, vines, and multiple small to mid-sized trees are encroaching toward the roadway and reducing both horizontal clearance and visibility along the street, particularly along this sloped section. There are multiple instances where branches and tree limbs are in direct contact with or immediately adjacent to overhead utility lines. This presents a potential safety and maintenance concern. Several trees are heavily covered in ivy and vine growth, and appear stressed or declining, with excessive vegetation load on the structure that may increase the risk of limb or tree failure. Overall, the vegetation appears unmaintained, with significant overgrowth extending into the right of way and toward utility infrastructure. Requesting inspection by Public Works / Urban Forestry to evaluate right of way clearance compliance, assess impacts to utilities and roadway safety, and determine whether pruning, clearing, or removal of hazardous vegetation is required.
