Constituent advised City owned tree in front of 223-225 Arsenal Street, Watertown, MA 02472, has overgrown to the point of penetrating the foundation and concrete floor in the basement. The time and date of initial penetration is unknown as it appears to have progressed over time. Professional concrete contractor has provided a quote for the repair; however, they need a permanent solution in order to prevent future occurrences.

Low-hanging branches on the sidewalk need to be trimmed so pedestrians can use the sidewalk safely without running into a branch.

Constituent stated that young tree located right after you take a right off of Lovell onto Locke St. has low hanging branches that in bloom during the spring cause an obstruction of view when turning onto Locke from Lovell. Requesting that the lower branches be removed or pruned to avoid this occurring come spring time.

Prune request.

Tree is pretty much dead/dying. Very few leaves left & diseased. If it isn't removed it will spread to other trees on the street. I would like to have it inspected & removed so a new healthy tree could be requested. Thank you.

Can the town clean up the stump? It was uplifted during storm in August and was never cleaned up, just cut down. The roots were uplifted so potential danger for children.

The town planted tree in front of my house has grown through the telephone pole cables. Can someone trim this? Seems like it will be a safety hazard.

Please check branches for integrity. Need to make sure there is no rot

tree outside of constituent's house has branches that have been bare.

A large limb has fallen off the tree at 170 Paul free Street. Is laying in the road but also blocking sidewalk.

A constituent reported that the tree at 13 James Street has roots pushing into the driveway apron and causing cracks in the sidewalk. Could this be inspected and addressed?
