Thank you for submitting this issue to the City of Portland using SeeClickFix. It has been received as service request ID #60407. Our staff will now begin their investigation.

This has still not been addressed...6 months later. You CAN NOT safely see oncoming traffic (outbound on Brighton Avenue) when attempting to pull out from Dennett Street. The tree branches hang down almost to the ground. Please take a look at this.

Thank you for your concern. This tree is actually on private property and not maintained by the city. We will try to contact the homeowner to help resolve the visibility issue. Please e-mail trees@portlandmaine.gov with any further questions.

Whether or not this particular tree is on private property, it is a safety concern. The driver's visibility is obscured by the low hanging branches, and you cannot clearly see the oncoming traffic. I can't believe that the city is unable to take action when the public safety is at risk. The owner of the property should be required to trim the low branches within a reasonable time (days) or face a penalty.

Your request has been closed. Thank you for partnering with us to keep The City of Portland a great place to live and work.
