Tree outside 6329 Colby at the intersection of Colby and 63rd needs maintenance. PG+E is in the neighborhood doing tree maintenance around the power lines, and one of the workers came over to warn me about the tree. He stated that one of the upper limbs is dead and will fall imminently in the wind, and that the rest of the main trunk of the tree is dying, as evidenced by bark loss and visible rot. We have lost several large branches from this tree in the past year (one in our yard and one in the street/crosswalk) and he was particularly concerned given the winter forecast of heavy rain. I am aware that Oakland does not do preventative tree work, but this is a busy pedestrian and vehicle intersection, and I am worried about injury or death from fallen branches. Removal and replacement would be ideal, but any arborist visit and assessment would be appreciated!
