Description
Large tree in front of my home 18 Fairmount Terrace is dangerously leaning towards the middle of the street. In addition, the large overgrown roots of the tree is lifting the concrete of the sidewalk causing an unsafe and uneven walking surface. The street gets heavy foot traffic due to the nearby St. Peter’s University student population & faculty staff & visitors. The tree is causing unsafe conditions & possibly falling onto oncoming traffic or onto a parked car or nearby homes. In order to avoid a foreseeable tragedy the tree needs to be removed & grind down the stump to sidewalk level. Anything that can be done to remedy this situation will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance with this matter. Felix & Wilma Pacheco concerned homeowners.

THE SITE WAS ALREADY SURVEYED ON 8-18-22 AND NOT DEEMED HAZARDOUS. THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM FOR PEDESTRIANS TO WALK BY. THE CITY DOES NOT REMOVE TREES IF THEY ARE IN A HEALTHY CONDITION AND DO NOT SHAVE ROOTS WHICH CAN HARM THE TREE. THERE IS NO UPLIFT TO THE SIDEWALK, THE TREE BED IS WIDE ENOUGH FOR THE ROOTS. THE FORESTRY DIVISION FOLLOWS THE PROCEDURES ACCORDING TO THE FORESTRY STANDARDS WHICH IS LOCATED ON OUR CITY WEBSITE.

THIS CASE IS CLOSED DUE TO LACK OF WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE.
