Rant: low hanging trees on city streets

Wow!! I can't imagine all these folks actually knowing the height tree limbs have to be cut.. I live just outside a city that is proud of its trees.. you are discouraged from cutting trees, especially in certain areas... city has worked hard to develop tree ordinance and become certified as a "tree city".. One area that has low hanging limbs along the side is often pictured as a representative of the beauty of the older part of town. streets have huge live oaks along both sides, creating a canopy that is really beautiful. The center is higher, but I would not take my TT down the street unless it were a real emergency.. I would go elsewhere and walk or unhook.
Area where I live the county doesn't have enough folks to maintain trees along roadway. They are responsibility of property owner. I have had limbs that hung over the roadway and never heard from the county. When I realized the garbage truck was catching them, I got out and cut them. I guess the county could have told me to cut them, but they don't have enough time to deal with enforcing that, they have so many other issues to deal with.
