INC NEWS - [pac2] Re: [CVNA] Tree cutting policy and Duke Power

Mon Mar 3 08:56:57 EST 2008

Good morning, all,

I'm working on a story about your concerns today. Is anyone available to
talk about this, and show me the damaged/at risk trees, on camera?

If so, please reply to this message and call me at 452-1807, preferably
before noon.

Thanks!

At Presidential Apartments, they came and did a super job cutting.  Then
they left me such a mess that it was criminal!  When I complained, I got
absoluterly no where.  They claim they cut the wood into "managable"
lengths & it is up to us to get rid of it.  And "Customer Service No
Care" (as Clark Howard is fond of saying)  would not help

Department of Urban Forestry to discuss these situations.

	He is very knowledgeable and can explain the situation and
provide assistance if it turns out that Duke Energy is not following the
agreements made with the city in the past regarding trimming or tree
removal.

in the space between my driveway and hers.

	But they are coming down ... and (this is the part that bugs me
most right now) Duke Energy is going to leave the STUMP and the wood.
	Why??
	Neither my 15 year old daughter, nor my 80+ year old neighbor,
nor I can do ANYTHING to get rid of three tree stumps and a big pile of
wood.
	Dangerous!!
	What do I do about THAT???

can't really say what I think of Duke power as this is a public forum.
It's really sad that our city council and mayor let this happen. Sure
they are "trimming" the trees to protect the power lines and exposing
more of our homes to the heat of the sun so we have to use more power to
cool them down. I'd at least call Duke power and complain and send an
email to City Council.

This

shade in

	What we have been told is that we have no recourse and that if
an 
	engineer esteems that our tree is a potential threat to the
power lines, 
	they can can get rid of it.

	I imagine they are planning a tree 'trimming' down our street,
which 
	probably means the death of numerous trees, judging by what has
happened 
	in other neighborhoods.

	How a corporation can get away with this kind of stuff boggles
my mind. 
	Do we have a recourse? Can't our representatives at state level
remove 
	this authority?

	We have a company that has a monopoly and makes profits, but
refuses to 
	enter the 21st century. They keep using outdated methods of
providing 
	energy in urban areas. Instead of burying lines, they continue
to do it 
	the old way, wasting money on poles, fleets of trucks with lifts
and so 
	forth.
