  • 598 Winthrop Street Medford, Massachusetts, 02155 - Medford
    Last year the town did some sidewalk work and added a sidewalk flowerbed area. However, they never added soil or did anything with it and now weeds are growing there. Would it be possible to add some grass or a tree?
  • Medford St Medford, MA, 02155, USA - Medford
    This playground is an important space for the community and is especially crowded every afternoon during the summer. However, the traffic noise from the main road (Medford Street) is very loud. Would you consider planting bushes or trees, or installing a higher fence along the playground side facing the street to help reduce the noise from passing cars?

    Two very large trees were recently removed on Osgood Street. Would like to request new trees to replace them. It seems very bare along the street now.
  • 48 Almont Street Medford, Massachusetts, 02155 - Medford
    Sidewalk can use a new tree
  • Fairfield St & Sharon St Medford, MA, 02155, USA - Medford
    Request a tree to be planted in this empty area on Sharon st. Near Fairfield st.
  • 26 Charnwood Road Medford, MA, 02155, USA - Medford

    The city tree located in front of 26 Charnwood Road is severely overgrown and needs to be trimmed and inspected by the city tree warden for possible removal.
    The tree’s roots have yet again broken the sidewalk panels, which are causing a tripping and fall hazard.

    I have requested that the tree be trimmed over the last few years by calling the DPW but tree has yet to be trimmed and keeps getting overgrown every year.
    The branches are growing so low that when you walk by on the sidewalk, taller people have to duck their head.

    The tree is growing into our front yard and almost touching our house. The city tree is so overgrown, it blocks our front yard from receiving sunshine for our plants.
    The roots of the tree are also growing into the front yard and have broken the sidewalk panels again.

    The sidewalk panels were replaced a few years ago when I originally notified the city about this problem but the tree problem was never followed up upon and the roots have just gotten worse over time.

    The broken sidewalk panels are causing a slip, trip and fall hazard. Between the low branches and the cracked sidewalk panels, I fear that my mother who is approaching 91 years of age could be injured, just by walking in front of her house.

    I have been communicating with the city about this problem city tree since 2015 via email and SeeClickFix.

    This City tree needs to be trimmed as soon as possible. Followed up by an inspection by the tree warden and once again replacing broken sidewalk panels caused by the tree’s roots being overgrown.

    I have attached pictures of the tree, the overgrown roots and broken sidewalk panels.

    Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide in resolving this years long problem.

    On Crest Road.
    Tree assessment was made in July but no action has been taken so far. Trimming was recommended by Tree Warden who determined tree was in fair to poor condition. Can this be done before the winter weather? Branches still falling.
    Thank you.

    I reported this earlier but the issue closed before i could take photos These black, dusty-looking blobs are all over the branches of the tree in front of 27 George St Is this normal?
  • 11 Watervale Road Medford, MA, 02155, USA - Medford
    The shrubbery next to the sidewalk has grown so much that it completely crowds out the sidewalk.
  • 61 Bristol Road Medford, MA, 02155, USA - Medford
    There is a large dead branch on the tree in front of our house in the sidewalk. Regularly sizable pieces of dead branches fall from the tree when it’s real windy. The tree branches are also pushing down on some lines that go to our neighbors house.
  • 5 Shapley Ave Medford, MA, 02155, USA - Medford
    The red maple tree in front of the house has dead branch limbs that need to be removed. We are afraid during the next wind storm, they may fall causing damage or injury. One branch is next to the power line.
  • 101 Fells Avenue Medford, Massachusetts, 02155 - Medford
    This is so overgrown, you can't get by in a wheelchair. There is a 2nd one just like this in front of the next house up growing probably to be as large as this. Shouldn't the sidewalks had to be ADA approved, etc.? Can't get by in a wheelchair. Same with a baby carriage - can't get by. This is not the only growth all along Fells Ave from the Fellsway up until maybe Vista Ave and Fulton Spring road. There is so much overgrowth all along the sidewalk and curbs. Medford is supposed to be a "Tree City USA" named by the National Arbor Day Foundation. You wouldn't know it driving up Fells Ave because no seems to take care of the overgrowth around the trees and/or tree stumps. This flowering growth and the one next to it is especially annoying because you practically have to go out on the street to get by - with a baby carriage on Fells Ave!
