{ <br /> X <br /> " >i y 13 19 95 <br /> x a ' <br /> Dear Resident: <br /> We are embarking on our 1995 Street Tree Trimming Campaign and <br /> would like to ask your assistance to make the campaign a s u cc ess. <br /> The goal of the program is have all trees located in the public <br /> right -of -way (street trees) trimmed to meet safety standards <br /> noted in the Gresham City Code. <br /> Street trees add a great deal to neighborhoods, but they can <br /> cause problems if they are not properly maintained. Overgrown <br /> tree limbs and branches can harm pedestrians, block traffic <br /> signs, and impede emergency .vehicle and delivery vehicle access. <br /> They may also limit our ability to keep your streets clean and in <br /> good repair by blocking the access of our street sweepers and <br /> paving equipment to the entire street surface. <br /> We are sending you this letter because trees located on your <br /> property have been identified as failing to meet. City tree <br /> trimming requirements. 1 have enclosed an information flyer that <br /> explains the City requirements and a notice about a special <br /> chipping service that should make disposing of your trimmings <br /> easier. <br /> elLj t a f the ear. to trim :tr and we ' e <br /> you i1 t his opportun to ..` y iot your street trei` � ri <br /> here to.tielP " you with this pro) ect .
