1 Ed Electric, we have a large tree down on wires at 101 Avenue and 133 Street that has taken out a traffic light. Wires are on a car that is, the car is now smoking. We also will need DOT for the traffic light. We will need parks to cut up this tree. Right now, companies are checking service to houses on 97. 97, and 101, from 97 Avenue to 101 Avenue.
