Timber! Trees on 80th Street a disaster waiting to happen say residents
Dyker Heights residents living on a tree-lined block say that the 100-year-old giants may have survived Sandy, but desperately need to be trimmed before a disaster occurs.
Sonny Soave lives on 80th Street between 12th and 13th Avenues. He pointed to at least five trees whose limbs soar high above the street and are hazardously intermingled with service lines. Some of the top-heavy titans dangerously lean over roofs.
God knows when these trees were planted. Its a disaster waiting to happen, he said.
