All large established trees shall be trimmed in such a manner so as to allow 8 feet clearance over sidewalks and 16 feet clearance over all streets. The city shall have the right to prune any tree or shrub on public or private property that obstructs the view of any street intersection, street lighting or visibility of any traffic-control device or sign.
