I was at Victory Field this morning and was wondering what happened to the recycling bins for cans and bottles? There used to be one by the entrance to the track and there were a few in front of the tennis courts that also are no longer there. There is one in front of the playground.

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.

Tree lost all leaves suddenly in the middle of winter. Not sure if it is on city property or Perkins property, but likely to take out power/cars if it falls in a winter storm

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.
