Asplundh to work on clearing brush on several streets

Published 12:00 am Tuesday, December 1, 2009

The Asplundh Tree Expert Company will continue a safe route review process for the Fiber to the Home project in Salisbury.
Asplundh is in the process of reviewing city streets, utility poles and vegetation outgrowth to ensure that the right of way maintenance offers maximum safety for fiber product installers.
Right of way maintenance includes potential snipping of branches that pose a potential hazard for fiber service installers.
Through Friday, Asplundh will be working within a 2-mile radius of the following cross streets:
– Crane Creek and Fairfax Drive
– Harrison Road and Mooresville Road
– Imperial Drive and Oakhurst Drive
Barry King, the city of Salisbury’s Fiber to the Home Services delivery manager, shares that in many instances, “very little or no trimming to tree branches may be needed. The intent is to provide enough right of way clearing that ensures the protection of our personnel during placement of the fiber product. Required work will include clearance of over-growth that inhibits adequate installation. The well-being of our personnel is of greatest significance.”
King says that citizens with any questions or concerns should feel free to contact him by calling 704-216-7567.
