Public commenters note a leaning pine tree and say provost project work is complete
Summary
During public comment at the Whiteville City Council meeting, speakers raised a public-safety concern about a dead pine tree leaning toward the road and reported that the provost project work had been completed.
During the public-comment portion of the Whiteville City Council meeting, residents raised two items for the record: a potentially hazardous dead pine tree near the roadway and that the provost project work by contractors has been completed.
One commenter said a dead pine tree on the block adjacent to the speaker’s property appears to be leaning toward the road and said, “it's gonna fall to the road,” indicating a potential public-safety hazard. The speaker identified the tree as a large branch issue and said they were concerned about its proximity to traffic. The transcript does not record any council response or a staff commitment to inspect or remediate the tree in the supplied excerpts.
Another public commenter recorded that the provost project has been completed and that contractors have finished work. The excerpt does not specify the scope, location, or funding for the provost project, nor does it show council acknowledgment or follow-up steps in the provided text.
