See the attached photo showing root zone damage to a beautiful young street tree on Birch Road due to the lack of protective curbing. Can protection be provided for these trees? This is a terrible waste of our City's investment in badly-needed living green infrastructure.

Constituent called stating that there are multiple large trees from Ridgelawn Cemetery that are encroaching on her property and have dead branches. She is requesting for the trees lining the back of her property on the cemetery be pruned.

Resident is concerned that the tree is dying. He said branches were hanging very low and did not look healthy. He would prefer a new tree be planted.

Prune request.

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!

Dead tree.

Dead half of tree over sidewalk and driveway. Large branches could break off. The rest of the tree has "serious root and disease problems" but is strong overall, according to an arborist who had a look this morning.

Inspection request.
