[RP TownTalk] Trees Cut Down on Bike Path near Greg's Towing

[adrian limmen]

I was also very saddened when they cut down all the beautiful pine trees as
well.  Besides hugging the trees there isn't much we can do to stop it.

Also, since when was Pepco in the business of worrying about diseased
trees? Don't they only need to worry about cutting down or trimming trees
when they are in the way of power lines.
