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

To clarify: The issue is more that the trees need to be trimmed UP about 6 feet up from ground level than it is simply overgrowth onto the road. We need to be able to see through from one side of the island to the other and the only way to accomplish that is to trim each tree up from the bottom at least 6 feet, just like in the cul-de-sacs around the community. (Use end of Morning Time Lane as an example.) So it’s more a matter of trimming “UP” than than trimming back. ( although doing so will alleviate both problems.) Thanks much!

When I wanted ours done at the end of Morning Time, I had to create a petition that each neighbor around the culdesac signed and attached it to my See-click-fix issue. After that, it was done within 2 weeks. Search old issues for "Morning Time Lane" and you'll find my petition for reference.

Trimming and brush was cleaned up on 10/19/2018.
