Many sidewalks are getting obstructed following our wet, warm, summer weather. Could DPW ROW send a letter to the property owner(s) to have their plants pruned back out of the ROW within, say, a month? A simple letter with a first class stamp could save DPW (and us taxpayers) some resources needed for more technically difficult tasks. Thanks!

Why is this assigned to the excavation inspector?

Aside from inspecting and/or permitting excavations in the city's right-of-way (streets, sidewalks, etc.) that office is also responsible for investigating obstructions within the city's right-of-way.

Trees are clear - we'll put it on our schedule to check more regularly.
