(a) Every owner of any tree overhanging any street or right-of-way within the City shall prune the branches so that the branches shall not obstruct the light from any street lamp and thus obstruct the view of any street intersection, and so that there shall be a clear space of 8 (eight) feet above the surface of the sidewalk and 14 (fourteen) feet above the surface of the street. The owners shall remove all dead, diseased or dangerous trees, or broken or decayed limbs, which constitute a menace to the safety of the public.
(b) The City shall have the right to prune any tree or shrub on private property when it interferes with the proper spread of light along the street from a streetlight or interferes with visibility of any traffic control device or sign.
