Town of Swampscott PLUS

large evergreen shrub completely obstructing the sidewalk. it has been that way for a while now, but when i saw two women with strollers leaving the sidewalk and proceeding into the road to get around shrub, i feel it is time to remedy this overgrown shrub concern. i have observed numerous cars traveling at excessive speeds down this road to humphrey street and it will only take one incident where a pedestrian gets injured.

Overgrowth onto sidewalk forcing pedestrians to walk on a dangerous street where cars notoriously speed

There is a dead tree opposite 65 Cherry St. branches keep falling and could cause harm. Can the town cut it down?

Hi there,
I just want to make sure I am on the list for forestry to trim the dead branches on this oak (once the leaves come out). I have attached a screenshot of my request from last year.
Thanks

The linden tree is in dire need of thinning and pruning away from utility lines that run to the house. In big wind this tree is going to damage those utility - power, phone/internet - lines. The lower branches are also very low and would benefit from some uplimbing. Thank you!

The tree in front of 177 Stetson Ave is full of yellow jackets Because of this, our front steps and porch are covered in yellow jackets

Submitted a request on the Linden street tree last month. Have now realized it is infected with a black scale - the entire tree is covered in it and it is releasing a black sticky resin on the sidewalk and the front walkway of my house. can this tree be assessed and treated for disease? thank you!

Tree in front of home on 60 Gale Road is dying and has multiple large, dead branches that require removal, as a few have already fallen and are adjacent to street and potential impact to electric wires running next to the tree.

Tree stake has mysteriously disappeared from newly planted tree. The tree was hit by a truck in August and is now growing at an angle. The DPW staked it in September but the stake is now gone .¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Really reallyreally weird.Could someone in Forestry fix it? Many thanks.

The trees on essex at the traffic light near stop and shop are blocking the traffic light. There are two lights there, one for the left lane and one for the right. The right lane lights is completely blocked until you are right on it. Please trim back the trees so we can see the light sooner.

GINO! (Natalie ...) It's time for this tree to come down. Not much left, mostly dead. Please grind root, too, so we gain parking spot. THANKS. Whisky
