[quote=Anonymous][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]

I would rather lose power once every year or so, then lose our beautiful trees. One of the major benefits to our neighborhood is the leafy environment. If i lose power for a few hours, who cares.

Why cut down good looking trees that make the neighborhood beautiful?[/quote]

Bad trees like tulip poplars need to go.  They are weak and dangerous, not beautiful at all.  Bring in oaks and planes to replace them but don’t get confused by their leaf coverage, many are not safe.  [/quote]
