3 arrested after stolen car chase ends in crash on I-91 in Enfield

Yet another crash on I91 between Hartford and Springfield. I live off exit 46 and it's one a week these days.

Some fine individuals from MA, 2 from Springfield, one from Westfield, with weapons. Beware the stretch from exit 45 to exit 49! Stay safe out there.

$6000 for arborvitae removal - reasonable or no?

Got a quote today here in Connecticut USA to remove 120' row of arbs. Includes root removal, wood chipping (we keep mulch), clean up and topsoil replacement. Guy is an arborist with 40 years experience and employee crew, not subs.

Says it'll take an A300 (?) Bobcat to pull the roots and a bucket to cut through the vines.

He's licensed and insured, both liability and worker's comp.

What do you all think of the price?

edit: The local electric company has been called for the encroaching vines on the transformer. Thank you for all of the expertise shared here, I really appreciate it. We're going to look into some additional quotes and possibly going with cedar fencing rather than forever chemical fencing :)
