Description
8 Overgrown trees on city property blocking right of way on 3rd ave S and 6th St S flanking each side of the townhomes on the north side of the street and directly across from and on the same side of the street as Daystar. Cars cannot utilize the parking spaces safely on the streets without their cars being damaged or scratched because the tree limbs hang down too low. Please trim these trees back. Plus, they are so low it is completely blocking the light and homeless have decided to camp out in front of and on the side of these townhomes because it is so dark at night on this side. It is dangerous for residents. Please take action!
