The power is back on for neighbors living along SE 10th Street. It went out during Thursday’s windy weather. Wind caused a portion of a large maple tree to snap, taking down power lines in the process. While crews have restored power, the root of the issue remains.
The power is back on for neighbors living along SE 10th Street. It went out during Thursday’s windy weather. Wind caused a portion of a large maple tree to snap, taking down power lines in the process. While crews have restored power, the root of the issue remains. "It could have been prevented if the city would have maintained the tree," said Rafael Munos. "It’s on the city’s right-of-way." "It a problematic tree," said Kristen Davey.
"It’s not about esthetics. It’s not about the tree cover, the canopy, which the city is concerned about," said Davey. "This tree is a safety hazard, and it needs to come down." Despite property survey markers indicating the tree falls on city property, the City of Bellevue said the tree is not their problem., "Trees in yards and in the right-of-way are the responsibility of the property owner or abutting property owner to the right-of-way to maintain within the scope of the city’s code, including the tree codes." It’s unclear if the abutting property owner has plans to take down the tree or have it trimmed soon.
