Thank you for partially addressing this request. A number of trees on Rainwater Road from North Ridge Drive to Hunting Ridge Road were limbed up. However, it does not appear that any were limbed up on either north or southbound Rainwater Road from North Ridge Drive to Spring Forest Road through the Tealbriar sub-division. They still are obstructing larger safety vehicles and others from staying in their designated traffic lane. Please have a second look and handle it accordingly. Thank you.

Please DO NOT CLOSE this request (request ID is #303498.) This is my second response to your "closing" notification requesting it remain open. The problem of roadway overhanging tree canopy is only partially resolved. Tree limbs are still blocking and causing dangerous traffic lane changes for large vehicles (school buses, emergency response units, etc.) on Rainwater Road from the corner of Rainwater and North Ridge Drive to Spring Forest Road. More specifically overhanging trees need to be "limbed up" at the following locations on and along Rainwater Road and any others you deem necessary to ensure safe traffic flow: Beginning at 6803 Rainwater Road; 6816 Rainwater Road; 6724 Rainwater Road; 6722 Rainwater Road (undeveloped lot;) the corner of Rainwater Road and 6641 Tealbriar Drive; the corner of Rainwater Road and 6620 Tealbriar Drive; the corner of Rainwater Road and 1628 Bellchase.

I'm not sure what happened to the name field above but it is Dick Baker (919-623-6404.) Also, the link to photos seems to work directly rather than having to copy, paste and go. Thanks again.

Staff are working with individual property owners at this point to clear these issues. The HOA has been alerted about this. We hope that this gets cleared ASAP.

This request should not be closed until the problem is resolved. Please keep it open until then. This is a city street right-of-way issue. I would think, just like adjacent homeowners would do, that overhanging trees can be trimmed by that adjacent property owner irregardless of where the base of the tree resides. Since this is a safety issue, waiting for even a responsive HOA to pursue a solution may be too long. I have assumed that as residents our taxes contribute to city services handling these types of situations much like Parks and Recreation will trim overhanging trees encroaching public thoroughfares, etc. I continue to appreciate the pursuit of a timely resolution to this request. Thank you. See this picture link: https://goo.gl/photos/mJEwpe1UR2GtFbgdA
