your point is moot. the electricity has already been restored, and every dump truck i've seen out there is capable of carrying thousands of pounds. we've got more horsepower than most places here, i literally almost had a head on collision with a driver because i had to swerve over to the oncoming lane to avoid some brush that was on my lane, while the other driver in the other lane is chuggin along at full speed. how hard is to push that brush completely off the road onto the adjacent property? two guys could easily do it, that's how it got there in the first place. must have been the hulk i guess, cuz it weighed thousands of pounds. i read the op's post and she's clearly not blaming epb for road conditions, but trying to address organizations, like our government, who are charge of road clean up and have the resources. the national guard was at the ymca, but I guess they're puny little military grade trucks can't handle the big big scary tree. i appreciate epb's efforts in restoring the electricity as much as the next guy, but i dont think its crazy to ask the governmetn to clean up the obstructions from the road while we try to avoid it and other drivers at a cool 40mph.
