[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The tree canopy rules and the costs to prune trees is a big factor here.  Huge trees do not belong along roads and power lines.  The reality is they have probably been there for a long time and the city's rules probably prevent them from being removed.  Pepco butchered a ton of trees after the Derecho but they probably should have just removed them.  Large old trees need maintenance.  A lot of the downed branches should have already been removed.  But that costs a lot of money and most homeowners aren't will to spend.  The city now will only plant certain varieties of trees along sidewalks/roads so they do not grow to large and the roots do not crack the sidewalks and roads.  But that doesn't help the existing trees.  [/quote]

In our neighborhood the county owns the trees under the power lines. We can only prune branches that come over our property. Luckily a couple of big ones fell in the storm (and did not damage property or pull down the power lines). I have put in request after request for the county to prune these trees. Nothing.[/quote]
