GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The tree on city property between the street and sidewalk in front of Dennis Frasier’s northeast Grand Rapids home has seen better days. A good wind will send its dead limbs onto his driveway from time to time.
After a number of calls from Frasier, the city tagged it for removal last summer.
“The city said. ‘This is a danger, it is a high priority, it has to be removed and it will be within 90 days,'” Frasier said, reading from the tag the city left on his door.
But one year later, the tree is still standing.
Dead and dying trees can more than just a nuisance. In May, high winds brought down a branch in Riverside Park, injuring a woman and a small child.
