TODAY AT APPROXIMATELY 545 PM A HUGE TREE BROKE APART ON KW DR JUST WEST OF WOODLAND HILLS. KW DR WAS SHUT DOWN FOR ABOUT 45 MIN TO CLEAN UP , ITS AMAZING THAT NOBODY WAS KILLED DURING THE RUSH HOUR  TRAFFIC A. THE CITY OF KW REFUSES TO TRIM BACK ALL THE TREES BETWEEN WOODLAND HILLS AND WEST LAKE HOUSTON PKWY. THIS TIME WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT NOBODY WAS BADLY INJURED OR KILLED, BUT IF THE CITY OF KW IGNORES THIS PROBLEM NEXT TIME IT COULD BE YOU OR A FAMILY MEMBER THAT IS BADLY HURT OR KILLED 4951

there was 2 that fell a few weeks ago too.  one even crashed thru a homeowners fence that backed up to KW dr.  Its terrible!  They wont even trim the under brush so we can see around it to pull out in traffic safely.  We have had so many close calls on WLH and Cascade Creek because the brush is so thick and people come speeding around the corner coming south on WLH.Not to mention the trees that fell weeks ago there was NO wind that day they just fell.  And didn't we just fork out tons of money last year for them to take down all the dead or dying trees?  How many more are going to fall? 4951

@RICHYRICH327:
 
Thanks but there is no city of kingwood, its the city of houston, and our lovely mayor would rather build bike trails downtown then to do any maintenance up here.... 4951

I'm sure there was a good point somewhere in there, but a paragraph in all caps is very difficult on the eyes. I'll just trust y'all because I could not finish it after the first line.
 
I realize people type that way because it is easier, but not so much for the reader. 4951

some people are confusing...you want to live where there are trees but forget that trees break and shed etc...and some celebrate new development but at the same time complain about the traffic and the loss of trees and more concrete.. 4951

Remember Kingwood is not considered a city but rather Houston and our tax dollars should be taking care of tree trimming.  Our avenue for this is 311.  See a problem?  Report it.  I did just that on a sidewalk on Mills Branch.  Wonder how long it will take for Houston to get this done????? 4951

And I thought that when we drove by 9:20 tonight that the City of Houston was finally trimming the trees because they needed it!  Silly me! 4951

I think a better solution would be for them to maintain our community as we pay dues for them to do.  They should watch for dead or dying trees, clear the roads of bushes that block views and keep kingwood looking nice.  I am not for tearing all the trees down, where will all the animals live? 4951
