Summary
A Radnor Valley Road resident wants healthy sweet gum trees on the right-of-way removed because gumballs pile up and pedestrians have twisted ankles. The commission wouldn't condemn healthy trees for fruit drop, but is exploring a policy that would let residents pay to remove their own street trees under the same replacement rules as private trees.

Impact analysis
If the policy moves forward, residents — not township taxpayers — would pay removal costs, fines and replacement fees.
Residents frustrated by nuisance trees on their frontage would get a path to removal; pedestrians gain nothing until gumballs are swept.
Township tree canopy could thin street by street if the option is used broadly.
