Bushes over growing the sidewalk so pedestrians have to go into the street

Many leaves on the sidewalk at this location. It was especially slippery walking down the hill after the rain this morning. I know this is right at the forest trail and leaves are expected but they seem especially accumulated here.

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.

The Anchor Food pantry Giving Garden is very overgrown right now with weeds causing the area to be full of mosquitoes and there could possibly be ticks too There are Girl Scouts currently harvesting the garden weekly and I've been recommending they shower in DEET before heading over 😬 would it be possible for someone to trim some of this back? Honestly, I would do it myself if I had the equipment but unfortunately I don't

Large town tree on sidewalk has dead branches and mushrooms growing at base of tree.

Extreme overgrowth into the street

One of the new gates at the front playground at the new Swampscott Elementary near the basketball courts is broke

Put in two weeks ago the large branch needed to be picked up. Today it said it was completed and closed. Maybe the picture will help obviously it hasn't been picked it. Please pick the branches up.

A work order was issued 2 months ago for weed abatement around the track behind SHS. Do date, nothing trimmed by town. Grass is a foot high and weeds reach 10 feet. Can DPW clear it out please?

The tree on the curb in front of the front steps to 28 Devens Road is dead and should be removed for public safety reasons.

Beautiful, large oak tree has dead branches that are falling in the street, sidewalk and our property. Was wondering if tree warden/forestry could trim back the dead branches. Thanks!
