Streets, Roads, & Sidewalks
Debris in Roadways
Major items of debris in streets and roadways that are obstructing traffic or creating a dangerous situation will be removed by the Public Works Department.
The City is responsible for clean up and removal of downed tree limbs and other debris from major storms only when the tree is located on City property or right-of-way. Privately-owned trees which fall into the street will be pushed out of the street by Public Works Department personnel in order to allow traffic to flow. For removal/disposal of private trees, please look in the Yellow Pages under Tree Service.
Debris in streets and roadways should be reported to the Public Works Department which will take appropriate action to clear the obstruction.
