Dear resident,
The site is on the list for pruning, due to the outstanding request, the division assigns sites that are considered to be dangerous in which it can potentially cause harm. PSE&G are the high lines that are maintained by PSE&G. Lines that are lower are cable lines. The division does not prune for wire clearance. If you would like to hire a private contractor to prune the trees in front of your home, we can provide a forestry permit.

The reply is a bit ambiguous, so to clarify, the city will or will not prune the branches? In one section you indicate this site is on the list for pruning, however the latter portion suggests hiring a private contractor.
Separate and apart from the wire matter, the matter of the branches hitting our property was not addressed. As the tree is on city property, you can understand the expectation that the tree would be maintained by the city. You can also understand the level of frustration as this request was first made in October 2022.
