Meanwhile County staff are working with a number of our cities that are updating their own Transportation Plans, while also meeting with citizen groups to identify issues. Regional, County and City plans should all be completed within the next 18 months. Citizen Involvement Calendar Planning Commission 1st Weds. The Impact of Property Tax Reform TVCA Cablecast Schedule TCI-Tual. On the main County road system, our Operations Division takes care of maintaining street trees.
Questions arise on neighborhood local streets.
Trees on private property that grow into or hang over the street, cover up signs, block the valuable light from street lights or impair sight visibility at intersections are not maintained by the County, they are the responsibility of the adjacent property owner. The County does trim in neighborhoods if a hazard exists, or to make room for paving equipment during the summer months. However, we do not have an arborist on staff and County work crews are not professional tree trimmers. Remember our responsibility is to eliminate the hazard. Remember that school busses and larger vehicles are going to need additional height so that they can pass safely too.
