Storm Damage
| The University City Forestry Division maintains trees on public
right of ways, in parks and on other public properties. After
a storm, crews clear streets of downed tree limbs on an emergency
basis. The City is responsible for the removal of limbs from publicly
owned trees only. Trees on private property are maintained by
the owners. Property owners must dispose of any debris from privately
owned trees at their own expense. Limbs less than three inches
(3") in diameter may be cut into four-foot lengths and bundled
for collection by the Sanitation Department. To report damage to public right of way trees or limbs blocking streets, call the Forestry Division, 505-8619 |
