This week, the Tribune received a letter from Linda Bloomstein of Penwood Road, who wrote to applaud the Livingston Police and Public Works Departments.
“During a recent thunderstorm, a large tree branch fell on numerous wires in front of my house,” Bloomstein wrote. “Not knowing exactly what to do, I called the police, who filed a report with Jersey Central. Jersey Central followed up and cut the branch, leaving it on my front lawn. Again, not knowing exactly what to do, I called the police a second time.
“The Livingston Department of Public Works received the police report and, within two hours, two large trucks arrived. The men meticulously chopped, ground, and cleaned away all the sawdust.”
She concluded, “This may seem like a small incident to write about, but it symbolizes what makes Livingston such a special place to live.”
