tree branches blocking sidewalk

the tree in front of my house needs to be pruned back. the branches are scraping against the siding, windows and gutter.

The path next to Wrights Pond is overgrown and there is barely any space to walk. I witnessed someone nearly get hit by a bike. This is the worse I have ever seen it...

Tree needs to be pruned so people can pass on sidewalk

Tree inside of 44 William St, Medford property line is hazardously encroaching out adjacent residence (13-15 Winter Hill Rd, Medford)

Dead/dying Norway Maple hanging over busy Fells entrance & street parking spot

The tree’s trunk has significantly expanded and is now pushing up the surrounding sidewalk and bricks, creating a dangerous tripping hazard for pedestrians and a potential risk to nearby parked vehicles. My mother has fallen several times and I have seen people trip over itThe roots appear unstable, and the surrounding pavement damage could worsen quickly, leading to serious injury or property damage.

Given the location near the street and sidewalk, I urge the city to send someone out to assess this situation as soon as possible before it becomes an accident site.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please let me know if you need additional details or if an in-person meeting is required.

sidewalk tree at 66 Washington Street is overgrown, obstructing sidewalk

Multiple Tree of Heaven located in Macdonald Park. This tree is not only invasive, but is also the host to the Spotted Lantern Fly (also invasive). These trees should be cut down to help stop the spread of these insects that have been located nearby.

Trees overhanging the sidewalk Makes it difficult to walk down the sidewalk.

at the corner of Spring St and Gibson St. There is a tree that has overgrown and blocked the NO PARKING sign. People, including residents, continually park in the no parking spot, making it difficult to exit onto Spring st. The sight line is blocked when cars and trucks are parked there.
