Description

I've reported this dangerous problem to the City three times (during the past Fall, Winter and Spring). The Arborist said he looked at the problem. However, trimming has not occurred. The problem is that, tree branches across from each other (on opposite sides of the street) are pushing downward on all the cables (leading from the light pole to the house at 427-429 Shelton).
If the limbs break, or there's heavy rain, snow storms, or high winds, the cables are going to be pulled down further, and detach from the pole or the house. Resulting in limbs and cables falling onto the road and cars, and possibly loss of electricity to houses on the block.
Additionally, long, secondary limbs and leaves are growing out of the bases of trees (at eye level), which is also dangerous. Please trim the trees. Thank you.
