Please respond:
The Flowing Trees are at risk of falling at this location:
On Santa Cruz Avenue Between Oakdell Drive and Avy Ave, along the Holy Cross Cemetery fence line.
These trees are extending at a 45 degree angle over the road.
They are very old.
They are very heavy.
If they fall on a pedestrian it will be fatal.
The city arborist needs to either Remove these trees or place strong (sufficient) structural support against these multiple trees to prevent their fall.
Due to the extensive rain, this must be done ASAP.
Please respond
Thank you

> The National Weather Services Wind advisory remains in effect until 9 p.m. Sustained southeast winds above 30 miles per hour, with gusts above 40 miles per hour, have caused widespread downed trees and tree branches. Some of these have sparked small fires and power outages.
>
> Please exercise extreme caution anytime you encounter downed power lines and always assume they are energized and dangerous. Immediately call 9-1-1 and PG&E at 1-800-743-5002 to report these downed lines. Follow the downed power line safety tips. View the PG&E Outage Center map for the latest power outage updates.

> Public Works crews are responding to over 2 dozen downed tree calls this afternoon and several blocked streets. Please check the Zonehaven map for the latest updates on street closures and traffic signal outages, and allow extra time if you must be out on the road. If you dont have to be, please avoid driving during this time.
>
> Crews are working to reopen streets and prioritizing based on life/safety needs, traffic flow (including near schools) and then other areas for debris removal. Please note, city crews cannot remove trees or debris where downed lines exist until PG&E has responded to remove the wires and deemed the area safe.
