Overgrown tree blocks pavement, inconveniencing pedestrians

 Overgrown tree blocks pavement, inconveniencing pedestrians
This overgrown tree blocks the pavement near Kembangan MRT Station, leaving only a narrow space for pedestrians to walk through.

STOMPer Pedestrian says:

"This picture was taken outside a private house which is located next to the pavement near Kembangan MRT Station.

"There are many trees and bushes outside this house.

"In mid Jan 2009, there was a trimming done. However, the tree in the centre of this picture was not trimmed.

"Pedestrians are obstructed by the tree when walking on the pavement.

"It is not too difficult for adults to avoid the tree, but for young children and people with prams, it is very difficult to walk past it.

"I would like to know whether this tree can be trimmed for the safety and convenience of the pedestrians?

"Should this be done by the relevant authorities or the house owner?"
