Do you have a date for when these limbs will be removed? I called the # listed above early Tuesday; she said she would notify a crew immediately. As of Wed afternoon, the branches are still here, getting drier by the day. In case you are not familiar with this street/ city park, it is a narrow, 1 + lane road that is used to get to Hillcrest School and several others.
It is a disaster waiting to happen. Please, please PLEASE do not leave these branches.

They did NOT remove these limbs. There was a city crew nearby, including a crane that will be required to lift these limbs, but they worked on different trees. They removed a nearby dead pine & trimmed a cypress tree. They didn't touch the eucalyptus. All eucalyptus limbs remain on ground, plus additional ones that have fallen in the 2 ½ years since I first reported this issue.
See photo taken today. It is harder to see the limbs because of seasonal grasses. Note the turkeys enjoying themselves.
