  • 5 Dwight Street Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown

    Hello DPW
    Recently a large branch fell from the tree in front of 5-7 Dwight Street and damaged a car.

    This is the second time in just 2 years that large branches have fell from this tree and damaged cars. I'm hoping someone can get out here and inspect this tree before it does more than fall on a car. The tree does not seem healthy and the branches are quite large when they fall.

    Again, in just about 2 years there have been 2 cars that were damaged by large branches falling off this tree.

    Thank you
    Dwight Street Resident

    The tree is listed as a Freeman maple in fair condition.
    Please inspect it for safety and coordinate trimming if needed.
  • 80 Walnut Street Watertown, Massachusetts, 02472 - Watertown
    *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.
