LOOKING UP: PECO removes a danger

One of those strong windstorms that blew through in early April broke a big tree limb along Ryan Road here in West Marlborough and left it hanging perilously above the road. Had it fallen, it also would have taken out some electric wires, so on the morning of April 15 PECO workers showed up with a huge bucket truck and removed it. Their cherry picker was extended to its full height because not only was the tree tall, but that stretch of the road is sunken between steep banks.

 

The dangling branch before PECO removed it.

No more dangling branch.

Those of us who use the road regularly feel much safer that the Branch of Damocles is no longer dangling above.
