Description
The entire block of 800 to 900 West Sunnyside needs to have the trees trimmed. There are a lot of gang babngers and gang activity on these blocks and at night, due to the low, arching tree branches towering over and into the strees, the gang bangers are able to illegal sell their drugs and engage in illegal activity. Please have someone come out and cut these low tree branches, especially between the 820-850 block of West Sunnyside. Thank you

The trees on that block keep it looking beautiful and less harsh.
All winter I've been looking out my window and daydreaming about how beautiful the street was going to be this summer.
Please don't trim or cut down our trees. Keep the city green!

Studies have shown that trees and other green plantings can reduce crime, build community, and help girls succeed.
The Landscape and Human Healthy Laboratory at University of Illinois has done several studies that are relevant:
