Resident warns council about large fallen limb; urges accelerated tree maintenance
Summary
A resident described a narrowly avoided crash after an 8–10-foot limb fell onto Knoll and asked the city to prioritize tree maintenance before winter, noting he had not been contacted about mitigation steps.
A Prairie Village resident told the council about a near-miss when an 8–10-foot tree limb, about 3–4 inches in diameter, fell into the southbound lane on Knoll between 75th and 79th, narrowly missing his car. He said there had been no substantial wind in the previous 48 hours and urged the city to prioritize tree maintenance before ice and snow arrive.
The speaker said he had not been contacted by city staff about mitigation steps and asked the council to work cooperatively with city resources to address hazardous limbs in the right-of-way. No formal action or staff response committing to a programmatic change was recorded in the meeting; the comment was made during the public participation portion and may prompt follow-up from public works staff.
