Please remember, no tree, brush, hedge, or other vegetation shall be allowed to grow in a manner that interferes with normal sidewalk or street traffic, or to grow so as to pose a threat to safety on public rights-of-way. In order to allow for proper pedestrian clearance, tree branches should be maintained to a height of seven (7) feet over the sidewalk. In order to allow for proper vehicular clearance, tree branches should be maintained to a height of twelve (12) feet over the street. This helps to keep our streets and sidewalks safe for vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
