[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Paldal-gu will conduct a comprehensive survey and maintenance of hazardous trees, including those at risk of disasters and fallen trees.
Complaints have been continuously raised regarding safety concerns about fallen trees or large, aged trees in public management areas when natural disasters such as typhoons and heavy rainfall occur.
In response, the district plans to survey the project sites for citizen safety and a pleasant urban appearance, and will conduct advance maintenance using tree-felling experts and heavy equipment.
By December, the district will carry out work including ▲removal of trees at risk of falling ▲trimming of broken branches ▲uprighting trees at risk of disasters. For general residential areas, it is the principle that property owners directly handle removal. The relevant department plans to determine whether to proceed with treatment after inspecting the site and considering safety hazard risks.
A district official stated, "We will promptly address hazardous trees to prevent damage and create a safe urban environment."
