Other: The City has run an over-sized pruner along the sidewalk of our backyard, tearing up the ground and my flowers next to the sidewalk (depicted by the yellow circle in the picture). A piece of fence picket (blue arrow) of our neighbor's 2 houses away was torn down and thrown behind our fence. Our next door neighbor's hostas plants were also damaged. I don't know how the City can revive our plants, but the muddy sidewalk and the hanging clippings need to be cleaned up. We have been keeping our section of the sidewalk clear and clean. We appreciate the City trying to clear the entire length of the sidewalk, however an appropriate machinery needs to be used so as not to do more damage than good. The crew had done a very poor job in this case. I hope no heavy pruning machine will be used on the sidewalk in the future, especially after the City had just repaired these cracked sidewalk.
Thank you for reporting this. I have contacted Ee and the neighbor who had ruts in the yard with a plan for resolving these issues.
Adam, Not a parks crew that I am aware of. Looks like tractor tires from the mud on the sidewalk, and we do not utilize any tractors for pruning. Could it have been the sidemount bushhog? I think the powerlines there are across the street, so unlikely to have been duke.
Haskell - Was this a Parks crew?
