(A) Every owner of any tree overhanging any street or right-of-way within the municipality shall prune the branches so that such said branches shall not obstruct the light from any street lamp or obstruct the view of any street intersection and so that there shall be a clear space of 12 feet above the surface of the street or alleyways or traffic signs. Said owners shall remove all dead or hazard trees, or broken or decayed limbs which constitute a menace to the safety of the public. The municipality 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 intersection or interferes with visibility of any traffic control device or sign.
(B) Every owner of any tree overhanging any sidewalk within the village shall prune branches so a sidewalk clearance of eight feet is maintained.
