Title: Tree taken down
Post by: BLeafe on May 21, 2011, 10:17:05 PM

Until 5:45pm today, this tree was on State St just north of Passaic. All the branches and its top half had just been removed. It was sawed through at its base a minute before I took this picture and is shown being lifted off its stump.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but aren't trees that are between the sidewalk and the street the property and responsibility of the city? If so, does the city bring in someone else to do this type of work?

I'm just wondering if this was a legal removal.

There was some heavy tree removal on Summit Ave 2 weeks ago north of Passaic St. In my opinion..it was needed badly. The trees that were taken look dangerous to me for yaers...I'm " assuming " the City paid for this service.
