Crawford, Jeneane@DOT 3:28 PM (1 hour ago) to me

Dear Larry, Thank you for your patience while we gathered information regarding your request. Our Right of Way Property Management team met with both our arborist and a CalFire chief on-site. Following this visit, two actions have been identified:

First, the arborist recommended clearing the area of fallen debris, shedding bark, pods, and leaves, primarily from the eucalyptus trees. We will have a landscape team begin this work as soon as possible. I will provide a date and time once it is confirmed.

Second, our Property Management team is preparing a vegetation management plan to share with CalFire for their review. Like you, their primary concern is the safety of structures located within 100 feet of any trees. We anticipate completing the report by mid-April. Once the plan is reviewed and approved, we can proceed with the necessary actions based on the recommendations.

As always, I will keep you updated, but please don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions.
