RE: [UC] Trees on 4500 Walnut Street

[S. Sharrieff Ali]

Someone private-mailed me and accused me of  "dime-dropping" on the
"whoever" 
with L&I and asked me to post a clarification.
 
I don't plan to "dime-drop" on anyone, not my place. I plan to check
with
L&I to see what the regulations are, what forms are used. 
 
I keep seeing sidewalks with cement all around the base of trees not
leaving 
enough room for water. I had an incident a few years ago with a
neighbor's tree
he cemented around the base, the tree later fell and destroyed my fence!
 
Also, I happen to know of a woman who lost her husband and unborn child
due 
to a tree falling on the car her family was riding in, she was seriously
injured but 
lived. Not a happy picture. It was just lucky the trees didn't kill
anyone. 
 
Act of God? . probably not. I think man had a hand in this one.
