Weeds all the way up and down Monterey Boulevard between Lincoln and 35th on both sides obstructing view

Plants blocking sidewalk along Woolsey side of home

Pine tree on right of photo dying and leaning dangerously. Also a fire hazard.

Overgrowth on public right of way, lack of lighting and vegetation overgrowth deriving from 4 Alvarado place.

This sidewalk plant is cutting into the sidewalk and street It's blocking parking and passage in the sidewalk sb

City Tree is extremely overgrown and impinges over roadway- scrapes top of car/truck as your drive by.

As reported on this site, a downed tree blocking the top of the Zinn Dr. fire trail was cut up. Unfortunately, the pieces of the entire tree were left behind at the side of the trail & it was not a large tree. Along with this tree & the dried grass at the Drake end of the same fire trail, there are 18 or more fallen trees from the Asilomar end of the fire trail down to the Drake end, most have been cut to marginally clear the fire trail, but all pieces of trees were left behind including dried leaves and branches which would burn easily should an ember land on them. If fire inspectors sighted such debris in our yards, I am sure we would have received a "get rid of hazardous debris" notice. All this dry, dead material is a catastrophe waiting to happen. It would be a big job to clear, but I suspect some nearby neighbors and Montclair hills residents might be willing to help remove the lighter materials. Dumpsters could be brought to both ends of the trail and used to haul away the mess. This might be a great challenge for hills-area Scout troops and an opportunity to educate young people on the dangers of careless fire play and poor cleaning up. We are certainly giving them a terrible example with the horrible condition of this so-called fire trail and allowing hazardous conditions accumulate year after year, which could someday cause massive destruction of lives and homes across our beautiful East Bay hills.

Location: North corner of Balboa Dr and Asilomar Dr. The property is bounded to the east by 5720 Balboa Dr, and 5700 Balboa Dr; bounded to the west by 1989 Asilomar Dr, and 1985 Asilomar Dr; bounded to the north by 5701 Balboa Dr. The Alameda County Assessor's parcel map indicates that this triangle of land is not part of any parcel, and there are no boundaries between this triangle of land and the roadway.

The attached photographs, which are representative but not comprehensive, show clear instances of fire ladders, dead branches, tree crowns "bridging" across Balboa Dr, and plants that have grown "feral" (that's the word the fired department used when they asked a homeowner to do additional mitigation to thin bushes and plants).
