Vegetation that encroaches on walkways can pose hazards as they can force pedestrians to step into the street in order to avoid scrapes or scratches or it can cause a potential tripping hazard. Parks staff Rene Ramos, Alfredo Tellez and Alex Nacaspaca are shown here clearing and cleaning up the sidewalk area along Manuel T Freitas Parkway. This involved heavy pruning of the trees and bushes along the path. They also recently finished pruning the medians in Terra Linda as well.
