I'd kill the ivy from the trees, cut the stems. But then you'll have ugly dead ivy in the tree, you'll be able to pull it down in a few years. Ivy is ugly, plenty of it in the world already. It will kill the trees eventually.

It really won't. It's not a parasitic plant, it has it's own root system and does not damage trees.
Lot of fallen down trees here with ivy on them, was my anecdotal evidence.
