(A) Every owner of any tree overhanging any street or right-of-way within the city shall prune the branches so that such 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 eight feet above the surface of the street or sidewalk. Said owner 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 street lamp or interferes with visibility of any traffic control signal or device.
