My wife and I walk almost every day for exercise and when we walk down J Street in Lathrop across from the Fire Department there are two trees on the North side of the street at 779 J Street where the trees are so close to the sidewalk and are trimmed in such a way that the trees are only 5' or less from the ground and you have to almost walk in the street in order to get by.
The trees are planted approx. 1-1.2' from the sidewalk and are trimmed over hang the sidewalk by about 1.5-2' at a height of about 5' or less.
Is there any Code or regulation on how hight off the street/sidewalk trees and overhangs are to be?
Seems to me, someone should be able to walk on the sidewalk without having to worry about overhanging tree branches. (Someones going to get an eye poked out or if they are on a bike they may be knocked to the ground if they don't see the hazard.)
Emailed citizen that request was received and forwarded to the Code Compliance Supervisor for review. City of Lathrop has initiated the Code Compliance process and ticket is now closed.
