    What a shame…but, if it still has some roots in the ground, give it a couple years and might get some regrowth from the stump. Ace boy using that chainsaw needs some protective gear…

    Hopefully they can send crew back on Monday to trim trees along Happy Valley Road. The overgrowth and weeds growng on the what should be the road is so bad that this already dangerous winding road is almost a one lane road in some places. North shore Road is just as bad.

    We can’t afford to wait til it’s almost election time before you put make things look okay.

    We are so overgrown around the island – North Shore, Middle Road and it goes on. I hate to see if we have a hurricane. On the long stretch of North Shore, they are growing into the road and the water views are obstructed as the trees are too tall.
