Can I have a tree within the City right of way removed because the tree is too close to the wires and/or the house?

Trees within the City right-of-way are removed based on the condition they are in and the risk they pose to people and property. The City's certified arborist determines the condition of a tree and recommends needed work based on his findings. The City does not necessarily remove a tree for reasons such as too close to wires and or home, roots getting in sewer, roots are lifting the sidewalk.
