§ 235-8. Obstructing streetlights, traffic control devices and signs; trimming.

A. 

The owner of any tree on private property overhanging any street or right-of-way within the City shall trim the branches so that such branches shall not obstruct the light from any street lamp or obstruct the view of any street intersection and so that there shall be a clear space of eight feet above the surface of the sidewalk and any part of the street right-of-way except roadway, and at least 10 feet above any roadway or part of any street intended for vehicular traffic. Such owner shall remove all dead, diseased or dangerous trees or broken or decayed limbs which constitute a menace to the safety of the public.

B. 

The City shall have the right to trim any tree or shrub on private property when such tree or shrub interferes with the proper spread of light along the street from a streetlight, or interferes with the visibility of any traffic control device or sign, such trimming to be confined to the area immediately above the right-of-way.
