Thanks CouncilMember!

LFUCG Environmental Services will soon begin their Neighborhood Courtesy Pruning Service to achieve street tree clearance (12' of clearance on the roadway side of the street trees and 7' of clearance on the sidewalk side of the street trees.).

In the 12th District, they will be in Blackford Oaks, Gleneagles, and The Homeplace of Lexington. Residents on impacted streets have received informative postcards via mail and yard signs have been placed at the entrances to the neighborhoods/pruning areas. Work was scheduled to begin as early as this week. If you have any questions about this service, please feel free to contact my office.
