Ouch. Someone's going to have an insurance headache. A reader says: "I took the attached photo this morning on the way to work of a tree that fell on a car between Marine and Clarendon on Buena. A calm, almost windless night and a tree limb comes crashing down. Aaarrrggghhh."
If you are the owner of a car that was damaged and need any documentation for your insurance claim, write to uptownupdate@hotmail.com and we can send you the full-size photo.
Unfortunately the city has not seen fit to maintain all the green they require. Many streets have lights blocked b/c of unmanaged trees.
ReplyDeleteIt would be wonderful to have the City invest in some good hardwoods which could live over 120 years rather than this junk - locust and the such - which they are now planting.
ReplyDeleteThe City does not regularly inspect trees. If you see a problem with a tree, call 311. (Not that this would have helped here.)
ReplyDeleteThat's my mom's car and her building across the street. She called me at 7:30am with the news. The tree was later removed. She has scratches & dents and is getting an estimate. Does anyone know if the city bears any liability for parkway tree damage? I would appreciate getting the picture.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sending me the picture. My mom's car is in the shop for bodywork now.
