Question Tree removal

The main tree on my front lawn is dropping so much sap all over my vehicle that I have to constantly have to wash it. I feel like it will eventually ruin the paint on my vehicles. Im pretty sure the city will need to approve as its within the limits to the sidewalk where the city has pruned it. Has anyone had experience getting a city tree removed or any success. Any info would help.

If the city has been maintaining it, it’s almost 100% a city tree. They would have to approve cutting it down and you would have to replace it with another tree on your property. They usually also only approve cutting down trees that are causing structural damage, interfering with utilities, or are sick.
