My private tree fell into the street why didn the DPW clean it up?
A fallen tree is the responsibility of the property owner. In the case of a street tree on the right-of-way (within 10 feet of the street) the Town is the owner and will respond. When a private tree falls into the Town’s right-of-way, the Town is only responsible for removing debris in the street that creates a public safety hazard.
