They have been "maintaining" both types of lines for well over 50 years in the exact same manner, namely trimming and removal when limbs/trees are damaged. Changing now its not the right answer especially when 95% of the problems are with the distribution lines.

The clear-cutting of all trees within 100 feet of four miles of lines will cause significant defoliation in Needham. Trees don't just grow back. This policy is short-sighted but will have extremely long-term effects.

Also for a plan which will have a 3 or 4 year cycle with regular trimming and removal of only the dangerous trees. I am against removal of every tree that has the potential to grow more than 15' tall. All maple, oak, pine, hemlock, and cherry trees will be cut, no matter their current height.

This petition is the first I've heard of this issue. If you feel it is false, then I would like to receive in writing exactly what your plan is.
