I cannot tell from the response if this has been cleaned up or not.

Thank you for contacting the city of Raleigh about this SeeClickFix request. Your request ID is 278698. We will be posting additional updates about your request as we have them.

This debris is no longer on the sidewalk at this location, however, it was picked up and tossed into the natural area adjacent to the sidewalk. I have also noticed that this is the standard practice of the city when trimming trees in this area between the sidewalk and the greenway. On one hand had these limbs fallen into the natural area I would not have put in this ticket, but on the other hand I do not think this sends a good message on behalf of the city.

In some situations it is beneficial the leave dead or damaged limbs/trees in natural areas. The debris provides habitat and shelter for wildlife. As the/ branches logs break down they release valuable resources back into the soil that is very valuable especially in urban areas.
Our first priority is the safety of Raleigh’s citizens and our goal is to make sure the streets and sidewalks are clear from tree debris/ branches. Due to the damage created during the recent storm event the City has been dealing with an extensive amount of tree debris throughout Raleigh. The vast majority of this debris has or is being removed and chipped. However there are locations where small portions of debris are left in or added to natural areas. This is not a common practice and most visible debris is most often the result of private yard waste being deposited on City property.
