“Dear PoPville,

Aren’t there better safety procedures for cutting large branches over a busy sidewalk? (Southbound Connecticut Ave & Leroy Place) This seems like work that should have been done off-peak, not when lots of people are walking to work/bus stops. Also, there was no advance warning for those walking north on Connecticut Ave – so people walked in the street rather than having a lengthy backtrack.”
