Redbud Tree Decision

Today (August 15th, 2006) members of Dave Allen's tree service trimmed two branches off the large redbud tree mentioned in The Ithaca Journal, our website, this very blog, and other local media. At 4pm on Monday August 14th 2006 the stop work order issued by the Honorable Justice Christine K. Springer was rescinded, allowing the crews to come and trim the tree branches to Dave Allen's specification. Mr. Allen is a New York state certified nurseryman and served as a reference during the decision-making process.
The order was rescinded after both Village lawyers and the lawyers behind the stop-work order realized that Justice Springer was not in her jurisdiction on the stop-work order. Unable to prove that Justice Springer had the authority to issue the stop-work order, the order was rescinded and lead to the trimming this morning around 8:00am.
