I have reported similar issues with the county trees all along Little Brickhouse Ct. before. There are many dead branches and limbs on the street side which often break off and drop especially when trucks drive through.

And most of the huge oak trees that are left are looking sickly with the foliage thinner each year. Some have died and been removed and I'm afraid the rest have whatever disease killed the others. Plus they are planted so close to the sidewalks and curbs that the root systems are heaving up the pavement.

Thank you for submitting your tree concern to the Howard County Department of Public Works. Our staff will investigate this issue and respond.
