Kudos to our Great City departments

I was amazed how fast the city responded. Fire dept. came first to keep folks from driving over the downed live wires, street dept. came by several times to see if the electric dept. had responded and when electric dept. came they were professional and took care of the lines in a timely manner. The street dept. quickly had the street cleared.
Now I see the "claw" truck came and took the cut up parts of the tree, but the trunk is still here. Will the street dept. return to finish the clean up is the question? The sidewalk is busted up by the roots and needs to be replaced.
This is one large reason NOT to plant trees in the green space between the street and the sidewalk. The tree that fell was 50+ years and had gone through many weather conditions. I suspect the ice storm of 2000 took the top out of this tree and the one next to it, weakening them greatly.
With all that said, I do thank the city departments for their fast response and concern for our safety. I do feel blessed to live this city. |
