Declining silver maples tangled in power lines on Central Avenue
Athens
Summary
Badly pruned, dying silver maples near Central and Clark are wrapped around power lines and could drop limbs on cars. The commission is unclear who handles it — the city contracts out tree work, and AEP is picky about what trees it touches — so they plan to file a SeeClickFix report.
