Trees can be beautiful during the fall months, but some Omaha neighborhoods could be getting too much of a good thing.

Pete Vaccarro is the president of the Bent Creek Homeowners Association, and he says there are trees in the islands of circles and cul-de-sacs in his neighborhood that are overgrown.

Vaccarro says neighbors should not be required to remove the hazards themselves, and that the city's response is just not cutting it.

"I found out from the city, every time I call them, that there's no set policy," Vaccarro said.

Omaha Parks Director Steve Scarpello says complaints about overgrown trees are not ignored, even those that grow in circle islands.

"It's kind of a gray area, but the way the city has been handling those, the city will take care of them when they are a problem," Scarpello said. "Someone has to call them in though, to make sure it's taken care of."

Scarpello says the city will trim back hazards on a case-by-case basis. He calls it a "complaint-driven" process.

But Vaccarro says the city has been slow to respond when he complains about tree trimming or mowing.

"I think everyone expects a certain level of response from the city for their tax money. A lot of issues are becoming unresolved out there," Vaccarro said.

The Parks Director insists the city responds well to complaints despite limited resources, and he says crews have already trimmed about 500 trees this year. He says the city has not gotten to everyone because it has to prioritize its trimming.
