Lanewav

Your letter of March 29th, 1985, has been brought to the
tiori of the Parks & Recreation Committee. In your letter attenyou
raise concerns that your trees

were cut back without any
consultation with you.
Let me first address the question of the overhanging branches in
the laneway. As a matter of course the Parks Department does
prune trees in laneways in Port
In your particular
area it was not a problem until Coquitlam.
this
year.
The
men'had
been using the parking lot by the store to rltake garbage
a wide turn into
the laneway. However, the store did not appreciate
the trucks
using their parking lot and, therefore, our drivers had
to make
a much t.ighter turn. Due to the fact that they had to make
this
tighter turn, the men on
were getting hit with the
branches. Laneways are tothebe truck
clear of overhanging
etc., and, therefore, we had tokept
cut your branches back. branches,
lt is, however,
that our staff did not contact both
of you to let youunfortunate
know what was happening. It would have been
appropriate to inform you of
the City intended to do and I
do apologise that this did notwhat
happen.
I would like to assure
you that, in the future, should we require
to trim the trees
again, we would indeed contact
you.

Thanking you for your consideration in this matter.
