(KMZA)--The Seneca City Council has approved changes to the city's tree ordinance that will enable city crews to trim trees that hang too low over streets.
The Council approved the revised tree ordinance last week.
After giving residents advance notice, branches will be cut about even with street curbs. The city's goal is to create safer travel.
Residents concerned about the appearance of their trees would be able to hire professional trimmers.
Homeowners would remain responsible for trimming branches above sidewalks.
Also, references to a Tree Advisory Board, have been removed from the ordinance. The board has not been in existence for several years.
