Duke Energy has responded to complaints from neighbors on Cincinnati's West side.

In a series of meetings with leaders in both Green and Miami townships, the company agreed to stop clear-cutting trees underneath its major power lines.

Instead, the utility will prune trees to a point where they won't cause a problem for at least six-years.

Duke Energy says its new policy also applies in Anderson Township.

Homeowners in Green Township were invited to review the new plan recently at the town hall.
