    This has been reported multiple times. Great-tree does need pruning but there is a large branch completely broken off stuck up in the tree. I can’t believe it hasn’t fallen yet. This is a DANGER to the community. Time to actually DO SOMETHING! My neighbor also called the DPW 2 weeks ago with ZERO response.

    The tree near the street outside 202 Atlantic Ave.needs to be checked as large roots are going under my lawn and sidewalk and up to the house which could potentially cause damage.The tree has several branches that are just hanging in the tree and also can cause damage.

    Last night the telephone lines running through this tree in front of our house fell causing the tree to catch fire. Given the proximity to our house we’re deeply concerned this is still posing a danger.

    The tree is dying. Numerous large dead branches. I giant limb fell today from the wind. DPW took it away but it would have killed someone or caused extensive damage to a vehicle. This was reported last year and it's getting worse. Please remove. Thanks for your attention. I'm happy to look at alternatives with the town if we want to replace with a suitable alternative.
    Best,

    Corner of King and Highland - if turning up off Reddington, right onto King Street, tree on right side of street by STOP sign at the intersection of King & Highland needs trimming - the branches are growing into the street, blocking the STOP sign, creating a road hazard and potential site of an accident due to drivers NOT being able to see cars coming up King and other cars on Highland ignoring a Stop sign that they cannot see due to being blocked by amateur branches growing out the side of a mature tree.

    Corner of King & Highland
    Tree limbs blocking visibility to Stop sign at corner of Highland at King.

    Lovely tree, but its overhanging branches make the sidewalk impassable Many children and most adults have either to crouch to walk under or veer into the street It will become more difficult once winter comes

    Resident has their lawn service blow all of there leaves across the street and pile them on the sidewalk along the bushes of the Gas Station. It happens every year and complain every year about how this home owner can blow their leaves and leave them on the sidewalk so that kids walking to school safely cannot get by.. It is a child hazzard not to mention rude that you pay a service to blow the leaves off of your property and not collect them for disposal. Please have this taken care of with the home owner once and for all for we as residents on this street are tired of complaining...
