"An unidentified crew clearcut all of the trees along the access road in front of the Bassett Furniture and former funeral home."
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious to anyone with a brain that PEPCO crews did the heavy pruning, to clear the branches from the power lines.
It was kinda dumb to plant these trees right under the power lines, don't you agree?
Pepco's trash. Cheap pieces of shit just clear-cut instead of responsibly prune or - god forbid - spend the money to install taller poles.
ReplyDeleteThis is a shame to just cit these trees down like this,I saw them cutting the trees last week and Could not believe it
ReplyDeleteMightve been part of the upcoming new retail storefronts next to Bassett...so people can see the stores.
ReplyDeleteThe trees are almost certainly in the public ROW.

ReplyDeleteAnyone who doesn't appreciate mature trees over an empty median is, at best, an idiot.
