City priorities following Tuesday’s severe storms included clearing/opening roads and sidewalks, opening storm drains, and controlling intersections, officials said in a release.
After receiving about 600 service requests, the City’s Forestry Division, supplemented by staff from other divisions, continued working to clear downed trees and branches.
Crews will continue working throughout the week and well into the weekend, officials said.
Meanwhile, city’s 311 call volume has been high (nearly 1,900 contacts for flooding and tree-related issues).
For hazardous Forestry issues, please contact 311 via phone, chat, text, or email. Forestry is working to remove any hazardous trees. It is not necessary to contact Forestry for tree branches on the parkway, as they will be going street to street removing them. Due to the volume, it will take 7-10 days to remove all branches.
