Remove and replace one dead 22” Locust - within 90 days.

Issue 5731056 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue.

August 17 and the tree is still standing.

September 23 and tree is still standing and getting much worse. See attached picture. The outer bark is cracking. I am afraid it will fall in a big storm.

October 2 and no action yet. Will someone please acknowledge this at least?

I have contacted the Tree Division for an update regarding this matter.

There is now a large branch that broke off in the middle of the street, but close enough to parked vehicles to cause concern. If this tree damages vehicles, do we send repair bills to the county since this has been a concern for over 4 months with no county action? What is the update for removal?

I have been advised that Howard County Bureau of Highways, Tree Division, intends to remove the tree within a week.
