<div dir="ltr">I agree that we should not lose any unnecessary trees. If I can help you in some way I will. I like our trees and would hate to lose them. Especially if they are not in the way of any utilities. <br><br>I would also suggest that when planting any new trees that they <b>not be planted underneath or near any power lines</b>. There are a few newish looking trees planted on the west end of Ravenswood Rd in front of the apartment building that have all been placed <b>under power lines</b>. <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/ymMFX">https://goo.gl/maps/ymMFX</a> <div><br></div><div>It maybe a few years down the road that we have to worry about it but planting trees under power lines is not a good idea since they will grow into the power lines at some point.
