Fallen tree limb over Memorial Day weekend

A large, heavy tree limb suddenly fell, crashing onto several parked vehicles and blocking the street. With 311 closing early for the holiday weekend, neighbors were unsure who to contact for assistance.

Impact: We contacted our friend, State Representative Jared Solomon, who coordinated communications with the appropriate agencies and expedited the response. Removal was completed very quickly despite the holiday weekend.
