Some utility company worker strung a thin, black wire from a wooden utility pole (on the west side of the 500 block of Shotwell) down to the street tree in front of my house, and wrapped it (tightly) around the trunk of the street tree I planted 20 years ago. I have no idea what utility this wire contains...cable? Landline telephone service? Electrical power? Who does this? The wire needs to be removed from the tree, and either clipped or looped up above, along with the dozens and dozens of other lines (all of which should be rerouted underground, like on Capp Street). Potential fire hazard, needs to be addressed right away.
