(A) Obstruction of street; permit; bond. No person shall remove any tree which may obstruct a street, alley or sidewalk during removal without obtaining a permit from the Director of Public Works. No permit may be issued until a bond is filed with the City Clerk, in an amount to be fixed by the Director of Public Works, signed by such person and an approved surety company and conditioned that such person will indemnify and keep harmless the city from any and all liability from accidents, injuries, and damage suits caused by the removal of such tree.
(B) Closure of street; permit barricades; markers. If, for public safety, it shall be necessary to close any street, sidewalk, or alley during the removal of any trees, a permit shall be issued by the Director of Public Works for such closure after due application therefore is endorsed by the Fire Chief and the Police Chief, or their authorized representative. The person in charge of such work shall furnish all barricades, red flags, and flares necessary for the closing of such street, sidewalk, or alley, with a sign posted signifying such closure, and shall display the name of the person doing the work.
