Complaint Submitted to Entergy Regarding Damage Caused by Tree Trimming Crews Along Staring Lane

Describe: Tree Trimming Crews Responsible for Unnecessary Tree Damage Along Staring Lane

Chris Holeman, CSRS Project Manager for the Green Light Staring Lane widening, mentioned the all tree cropping to date has being performed by Entergy tree trimming crews, with a view to location of the power lines. In short, several registered live oaks have been irreparably damaged by these tree trimming crews. For example, Registered Live Oak #5790 at 560 Staring Lane, which was cited on 3/24/11 by DPW as "pruned but may survive". As a former Entergy employee (for almost 10 years), this is truly disheartening to me.
If you have a complaint, do
you have a proposed solution?:
Entergy should offer to replace the damaged trees (replant with ones of comparable size, after the widening effort) and offer to build protective fences, to prevent damage by upcoming construction crews, for those registered live oaks deemed saveable.

Registered Live Oak #6169 at 467 Staring Lane
Registered Live Oak #5790 at 560 Staring Lane
Registered Live Oak #5249 at 364 Staring Lane
