[RP TownTalk] addendum

[Nancy Augustine]

And for those of you with MoCo envy -
 
Earlier this week, a co-worker of mine who lives in Bethesda was telling me
that it takes a minimum of 9 months (this is according to county staff) to
get a dead tree removed from a public street. He had to wait 2 years for
them to get around to a dead tree in front of his house. When he called to
check on the status, some months into the waiting period, county staff told
him not to worry about it. Because he had reported it, the county would pay
for any damages caused if the tree came down in whole or in part.  He did
not find that very reassuring.

Last week, half a tree came down on the street in front of my house. I
emailed Alice about the bradford pear trees on the block that have gotten
very top-heavy and potentially hazardous. She, in turn, forwarded it to
public works. This morning, they're out there trimming the trees!  Thank
you!
