  • 159 Allston Street Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02139 - Cambridgeport

    Hi,

    This spot on the street is an ideal location for a street tree. With ample sidewalk space and direct southern sun, a tree is sure to thrive in these conditions and contribute to the Cambridge urban forest. Additionally the shade provided by the tree will greatly benefit the adjacent building at 159 Allston street, the first passive house in Cambridge, which aims to reduce energy use as much as possible.

    Some suggested street trees we often see in Cambridge: pin oak, honeylocust, american elm, kentucky coffeetree, sweet gum

    Thank you!
    Marcus Jost

    The city recently removed a diseased tree on the corner of Ellsworth Ave and Ellsworth Park, adjacent to the green mailbox, can they replace it with another one?

    There used to be a tree here. Please replace soon.
  • 799 Cambridge Street Cambridge, MA, 02141, USA - Wellington-Harrington
    The request to cut back this former tree was ignored and a large limb fell on the sidewalk. As a result, the whole tree was removed.
    A new tree has not yet been planted and this is what it looks like now...dogs use it as a "poop" spot.
  • 301 Broadway Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02139 - The Port
    I live at 301 Broadway in Cambridge and this little stretch of Broadway doesn't have many street trees on our side of the road. I would love to have a tree planted in front of my home on the sidewalk, potentially in place of some of the bricks in the picture.

    One tree needed. Three trees that need to have bags removed. The trees are established, and the water bags grow mosquitoes that are bad for public health, especially near a school with small children.

    We have four empty tree wells on Broadway between Antrim and Fayette.
    Please plant as many canopy trees as will fit in these tree wells, and please chose native trees so we can also support biodiversity. Native trees feed our local insects - which means there is also more food for birds. Native trees please!

    There is a plot that is perfect for a tree, but remains empty. There is a rectangular plot already filled with dirt and mulch. As someone who lives in this neighborhood, we could benefit from more greenery. We are close to a park so there are many animals in the area like squirrels and birds that would appreciate it.
  • 23-27 Camp St Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - North Cambridge
    I already see a sticker for a future tree here but it's been here for more than a year.
  • 20 Camp Street Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA - North Cambridge
    I believe this was already flagged for repaving, but it would great to have a tree here too

    The city removed a dying Maple Tree from this location recently and now there is a sign saying a new tree will be planted there. May we have a say in the kind of tree from your list of approved trees? We desire a smaller flowering tree so it will not compete with our own trees. We do want a tree planted there to replace the one that was removed . Thank you, Amy Clarkson
