The City department with perhaps the grandest sounding name — Parks and Urban Forestry — cut down a funny looking old maple tree on Tanager Ave. midway between Glenvale Blvd and Broadway Ave. Monday (September 14, 2015). Upper left, the orange dot in spray paint on the trunk is the kiss of death for a tree. Upper right, bucket man strains to sever a large limb. The branch is tethered to a truck crane so it won’t fall on anyone. Lower left, the branch slowly descends and right, chipper in the driveway eats the big limb whole. Wow.
