Thanks stig, Summer branch drop is an Act of God? Not that you should be held responsible, but it ALWAYS happens to overextended limbs, and can be avoided by reduction. A very hard reduction (retopping) is an option, if cabling is not done. But it would need attention much sooner, and have...

Not stricter policy, but more proactive maybe. Yes people are more important but what does that mean? All these predictions of imminent failure need some substantiation to be taken seriously. It's easy to freak out when seeing a wound that ugly, but let's keep our heads. If pruned and...

Pel with 2 tearouts already heck yes that's a concern, hence the reduction and support! No cracks in forks, so this might be a candidate for a dynamic, or at least not overtightened steel, system. That done, there's less load on the trunk, tho yes the dynamics will have changed (hopefully for...

Hub's a good idea. I would not call it "safe", but I would say that pruning and cabling will reduce the risk substantially, putting it well within a reasonable level, comparable to other large urban trees. sotc, if the work is done, what part would be most likely to fail, in what timeframe...
