*Opposite* 80-104 Walnut St: the planting strip trees here have a lot of shaggy growth near the base of the trunks, much of which is growing into the usable sidewalk area. Some of the trees also have low branches hanging into the sidewalk-use space. Some of them, for instance, could whack a tall kid on a bike.

resident would like tree inspected after a large branch fell on his car.

Large tree limbs continue to fall off of this tree on the corner of York Ave and Belmont Street. It is dangerous to pedestrians, and also property. Half of the tree appears to be dead / dying. Please assess ASAP.

Inspection request.

The tree has grown bigger than the size of the hole in the grate. The grate is going to kill it. Please remove the grate.

There is an old, very dead crab apple tree on the northeast side of Upland Rd. Access behind 534 Mt. Auburn St. If this tree falls(and it looks like it could happen with the next wind storm) it will take out the overhead wires and will block the access road. Please inspect this tree and give it a proper burial!
Thank you!

Received a call from a constituent stating that the trees lining Arsenal St. in front of 201 - 243 Arsenal St. are all overgrown and needing pruning. Can you please inspect these trees?

One of the tree ties and watering bag are down, request to inspect and replace as needed

Hello! Some of the trees in Howe Park (inside the dog park) have dead branches, some of which are very large. Some small branches have fallen in the past few weeks. Can someone please come by to assess? The tree against the fence along Pleasant St., in the middle, has a very large dead branch. If that falls, someone (or even worse, a dog!) could get seriously injured. It's a very dangerous situation, so please have it assessed as soon as possible. Thanks in advance!

Branch hangs down too low

Some limbs have fallen from this tree, and several more that look dead and ready to fall in a wind gust. This is a danger to cars and pedestrians.
This sidewalk/street area is heavily travelled by children and parents who come and go to Lowell School.
