TREE MAINTENANCE IN DETROIT

 BACK IN THE DAY WHEN THE CITY OF DETROIT CLOSED SOME ALLEYS,OBVIOUSLY THEY FORGOT THAT THOSE UTILITY POLES WOULD SOMETIMES NEED MAINTENANCE OR AN EMERGENCY WOULD MAKE IT A REASON TO GO THROUGH THE PROPERTY TO FIX THE PROBLEMS, AND THEN CABLE EMERGED.NOW WE GOT ALL THOSE OLD TREES LEFT BEHIND,INSTEAD OF BACK THEN CLEARING ALL THE DISEASE OR OLD TREES SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE AN HAZARD TO THE UTILITY POLES AND LINES.THEY JUST LEFT THEM,AND NOW THEY POSE A PROBLEM WHEN STORMS SHOW UP,SO IT MADE A PROBLEM TO GET ACCESS TO THE POLES FOR DTE OR CABLE,NO ONE ON CITY LEVEL CARES ABOUT THIS,CAUSE SINCE THEY RECEIVED ALL THESE MILLIONS TO HELP WITH RESIDENTIAL TREE PROBLEMS,THEY CAN'T PROVIDE YOU WITH TIMELY REMOVAL,DUE TO THEY DON'T ALREADY HAVE A TREE REMOVAL DEPARTMENT,THEY HAVE TO GO OUT AND HIRE CONTRACTORS,WHO ARE LAID BACK AND TAKE THEIR GOOD TIME ON DURING THE JOBS,IF A TREE JUST HAPPENS TO FALL ON YOUR HOUSE OR PROPERTY IT CAN TAKE UP TO A YEAR BEFORE REMOVAL.THIS IS THE TYPE OF CITY LEADERSHIP WE LIVE IN,NO ACCOUNTABILITY WHAT SO EVER.NEXT LET'S TAKE AN EXAMPLE OF AN ALLEY THAT IS NOT CEMENTED OR BRICKED AND NOT CLOSED,EVERY SUMMER THIS ALLEY BEHIND A COMMERCIAL BUILDING GROWS AND GROWS NOTHING BUT WEEDS.THEN WHY CAN'T THE CITY ENFORCE A RULE MAKING ANY COMMERCIAL STORES CONNECTED TO THE ALLEY HAVE TO HAVE IT PAVED.BUT IF OWNED BY THE CITY OF DETROIT,THEN THE CITY NEEDS TO PAVE THE ALLEYS.THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A CITY LOOK CLEAN.AND DON'T LET ME START TALKING ABOUT THE OVERGROWTH CURB TREES THAT ARE TOUCHING THE SKY AND UP ROOTING THE PAVEMENT.WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING THAT RUN THIS CITY??????????
