HUGE tree down at the corner of S. 16th Rd and S. Garfield has completely blocked access in and out of our cul de sac, via 16th Rd! I can’t find any information on who to call from the county to remove it–arlingtonva.us is useless!
In these situations, especially at the time you were typing, the best thing to do is to call the APD non-emergency number. 703-558-2222. The dispatchers generally know who to call.
