Hello! Good to hear there's a tree person. You may know that the tree / sight issues on the northern trail crossings have still not been resolved, after 3 years. Beyond regular mowing, the more substantial sight-line improvements necessary to enhance safe crossings are still a thing - both from the trail user and driver perspectives.

The Superintendent of Trees / Tree Warden has received your request and will conduct an evaluation of the reported issue. Should further follow-up or action be required prior to closing, the issue will be updated accordingly.

This issue was not addressed/resolved at all in 2021 (nor in 2019 or 2020). Heading into Spring 2022, what new steps will be taken to address the the tree / sight issues on the northern linear trail crossing? Beyond regular mowing, the more substantial sight-line improvements and trail/roads signage / markers necessary to enhance safe crossings are still a concern and potential liability for the town - both from the trail user and driver perspectives.

How has the issue been resolved? Now that spring has returned, the site lines at the three northern-most trail / road crossing are as limited as ever. What needs to happen is not just regular mowing, but actually getting in there with a chainsaw to remove trees and thick brush so that visibility is not blocked - from both the trail and road-user perspective. I've been reporting by this for nearly 4 years, and am still awaiting a more serious, long-term response and solution. Let me know how I can help!

Please contact Superintendent of trees (Chris Rhone) for further information
