I think your 4ft diameter tree is in the background of this photo of them starting on a pole replacement on Tuesday.

Yep. I guess you live in "MoCo" [Montgomery County]. like me.

The pics are shot at the corner of Decatur [side street] and the southbound lanes of Connecticut Avenue [looking north on Connecticut].

Looking north, the crossbar of one telephone is in the foreground, a complete telephone pole is next north across the roadway [about 50 feet away], and then the tree [about another 25 feet north of the complete telephone pole].

Another 50 feet north of the incident is Lawrence [another side street]. So, this all occurred in a space of about 200 feet between Lawrence and Decatur.

ALSO, further north about 1/4 mile, just beyond Denfeld [another sidestreet and traffic light intersection] there were 3 trees down between Denfeld and Adams [another sidestreet and traffic light intersection].

On Monday morning during rush hour, when PEPCO finally decided that these trees and telephone poles WERE a significant impediment to rush hour traffic - it had the police block off southbound Connecticut Avenue all the way from Viers Mill Road past Decatur in Kensington.

A total of about 1 1/2 miles blocked off right when people needed to go south towards DC and the Beltway to get to work !!!

Better description of my photos than I could have done myself.
