Understanding the City's Tree Removal Process After Storms 

Step 1: Submit A Request

If you see a downed tree or debris blocking the road, please report it through 311 (online, app, or by phone). 

Step 2: Clearing The Road 

Our public works crews will respond by cutting and pushing the tree(s) to the side to quickly *open the street.* This is our top priority to keep neighborhoods accessible and safe. 

Step 3: Debris Removal 

Once roads are cleared, crews return later to haul away the debris. With over 300 piles to remove across the city, this step takes time--but we're working as quickly as possible to clean up every location.
