The tree in front of my house died 2 years ago. The City is planting a new tree, and today, they took out the tree roots and will plant a new tree soon.
The worker said to me that I could request a new tree of my liking. if this is true, I would like to request flowering trees, like Redbud or Cherry tree.
I promise I will take good care of it.
Thanks.

Tree was removed by the city this summer. We were told that a new tree would be placed here after this year's street reconstruction. Your tree planting map for 2024 does not indicate that you plan to replace the tree in this location. Could you please contact me to let me know the plan?

The tree wells at 156 Mount Auburn Street are extremely compacted so when you come to plant the trees, you'll need something more than shovels to clear it out, which I hope you will – you probably know this already but I just want to make sure we give these trees a good start. Thanks

A car recently ran over a newly planted tree in front of 243 Columbia St. I spoke on the phone with the city and they recommended I submit a tree planting request to get the ran over tree replaced.

This is a follow-up request for a new tree in front of 1 Walden Mews to replace 1) a large one that fell over, and 2) a replacement that died almost immediately. We were assured that the second replacement would be done in the fall, and I've noticed that many new trees have been planted but ours has not. Thank you kindly for your attention to this matter.

10, 20 and 22 Follen need trees...10 once had a tree so needs to have stump dug out and removed before planting

A dead tree was removed and a new tree needs to be planted. The previous tree died most likely due to soil compaction.

Two trees were removed. Please plant at least 2 new trees. This area regularly gets flooded removing trees will it help that.
