Claremont: Alley/Public Easement Maintenance Reminder

Press release from the City of Claremont:

March 16, 2021

Property owners living next to alleys or public easements are reminded to keep them clear of low-hanging trees and overhanging vegetation. This makes it easier for City staff to navigate the easements and the City’s service vehicles to navigate the alleys as they provide service to the neighborhoods. Maintaining the alleys and easements also eliminates unsafe and unsightly conditions. If you have private trees or other vegetation that are overhanging into the alley or easement, please trim or raise any tree branches to allow at least 14 feet of overhead clearance and trim back all vegetation to the property line. Please also remove and properly dispose of all weeds, leaves, debris, plant growth and other items that may be in the alley next to the property and perform routine inspections and maintenance of these areas on a regular basis. As a reminder for properties living next to alleys, please ensure all automated waste containers are stored on private property on non-scheduled service days. For more information, please contact the Community Improvement Division at (909) 399-5467.
