NEW on Facebook! Check out the Milwood Marketplace!

A neighbor of yours just started a new FB that should be really useful:

  • Have something to sell? Need to borrow a tool or garden equipment? Don’t want to deal with Craigslist?

    This is a group for neighbors in the Duval/Amherst/Parmer area.

    If you own a business, feel free to post your contact info. Milwood is all about supporting our neighbors! But please be respectful and don’t clog the group with multiple posts or solicitations.

    Just search for it within Facebook and ask to be added!

City of Austin – pruning trees soon!

We received a letter from the City of Austin letting us know that they will soon be trimming and pruning tress away from high-voltage electric transmission lines. The letter states that they will make every effort to contact affected property owners to discuss the proposed work, and each property owner will receive a written Vegetation Work Plan to document the work. Work will be performed by the COA contractor Asplundh Tree.
If you have any questions about this process, you can contact the following people:

Carl Schattenberg, Utility Forester: 512-322-6931
Ray Henning, Line Clearance Supervisor: 512-322-6930
