Workers from Wright Tree service trimmed trees under power lines in the lawn extension along North Ann Arbor Street Thursday.
The work was ordered by DTE, presumably to prevent tree limbs from interfering with or knocking down power lines and interrupting electrical service to customers.
The work surprised the city.
"Unfortunately my office did not get any advance notice of those activities. I know the Mayor has a call in to our DTE rep to ask for more information," City Manager Colleen O'Toole said.
Several residents were upset with the damage done to the mature trees that line the street.
Many trees in the lawn extension were planted by the city many years ago.
Moderate rain, with a high of 51 and low of 33 degrees. Light rain in the morning, overcast for the afternoon,
Nice idea. Thank you to the kids who support this. Seems a bit of diversity in the make-up of the kids leading the group would go a long way to making "everyone" feel welcome. Sadly, not seeing it, at least in what is presented here.
Awful, racist perspective. There is nothing wrong with the "make-up" of these four kids.
Not saying there is anything wrong with those four kids. Really appreciate what they are doing and think it is great. Hardly find it racist to think having folks representative of other "groups" leading the group would go even further to making everyone feel welcome.
