This mighty Oak suffered severe damage during Storm Sandy - more than 4 years ago. Con Ed did some emergency trimming to disentangle the shattered branches from wires that knocked out power on our street for almost two weeks. Understandably not focused on aesthetics at the time, Con Ed left behind a scarred and damaged, and still massive tree. After more than 4 years, the Town of Greenburgh DPW took notice of the tree, and after two half-days of work this past week left behind the trimming job pictured above. DPW has informed the property owner on which this "town tree" stands that it will return sometime in the Spring to finish the job of cutting it down to grade level. The reason given for not finishing the job now was something about not damaging the lawn. The tree looms over my property and I'm just as baffled by the DPW's response at my next door neighbor.
