City crews continue to address storm-related damage to street trees in the public right of way, officials say

Eugene, OR – According to the statement, city crews are moving as quickly as they can to resolve all significant tree-related hazards,  working methodically in neighborhoods around the city.

Community members can assist in this process by following these guidelines:

• Until all hazards have been resolved, community members are urged to be especially aware of their surroundings.
• Please avoid parking under or near trees that have caution tape wrapped around them, have large visible broken branches still hanging, or are in front of tree debris piles. 
• Do not put debris from private property trees into the road. These piles impede crews’ ability to access City street tree debris and will not be picked up by city crews.
• Where vehicles are blocking access to trees or debris piles, City staff set up signs instructing owners to move their vehicles within 24 hours. Vehicles that remain in posted no-parking areas after the 24 hours may be towed so crews can access debris.
