Streets, sidewalks, and <br />other public rights -of -way are for everyone's use. <br />Property owners are responsible for their private trees <br />and all other vegetation in the public right-of-way <br />next to their property. Please trim any vegetation on <br />your property that is overhanging sidewalks, trails, <br />alleys, or streets. <br />Why do trees need to be trimmed? <br />Trimming and caring for your trees not only maintains <br />good tree health but also enhances neighborhood <br />safety. Overgrown vegetation is a safety hazard and <br />limits the use of sidewalks, trails, streets, and alleys. It <br />can also block the view of traffic signs, signals, ve- <br />hicles, or cyclists.To ensure safe passage for everyone, <br />trim tree limbs and vegetation at least 16 feet above <br />streets or alleys to allow for delivery trucks, garbage <br />trucks, and snowplows and at least 8 feet above side- <br />walks to accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists. <br />Who is responsible for trimming trees? <br />It is the responsibility of the property owner to main- <br />tain and care for trees that are situated or overhanging <br />any street or public right-of-way, per Ord. No. 1484- <br />2006, § 1, 2-7-2006. City Forestry does not conduct <br />maintenance of trees on private property. If needed, <br />property owners should consult with a licensed, inde- <br />pendent landscape contractor or arborist to arrange <br />for the removal of trees or tree branches on private <br />property. <br />Where can I dispose of tree branches? <br />Louisville residents can drop off branches at the <br />branch disposal site, located just to the north of the <br />Louisville Cemetery on Empire Road, the first full <br />weekend of each month from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. <br />For questions, contact City Forester Chris Lichty at <br />303.335.4733 or ChrisL@LouisvilleCO.gov. <br />Thank you for doing your part to create safe pathways <br />in the City of Louisville. <br />Fall 2021 • Page 9 <br />
