Mayor assigned this issue to DPW Superintendent

There was a tree cutting company in the neighborhood and my son asked him to take a look at the tree. The tree guy said and I quote “this tree will fall soon and will cause a lot of damage “ . My son was asked if we notified the city hall and we told him we have sent pictures and notifications to city hall for nearly four years with no response. We called the Mayors office no response. We just pray no one will be killed when the tree falls down.

Ten trees within a two blocks radius have been cut down and yet this tree is still waiting on the city.

Forward this issue to your ward councilor. https://www.holyoke.org/city-council-members/

The assistant from the Mayor’s Office was really helpful and told me the pictures received was helpful and that the tree will be added to the list to be cut down. When was not confirmed. Let’s pray no one dies when the tree falls. It’s will cause damage to our house and property.

I cannot close this case until the forest Department or city of Holyoke cut down this dead tree. It's been over 5 years since I wrote to the Mayor's Office and spoke with the mayor's staff trying to get this dead tree cut down. 8 trees within a two-block radius have been cut down. The new Mayor Juan G. staff member took our phone call and have photos that were sent to the office of the dead tree. We were added to the list.

Stephen called me today from the Mayor’s office to say he will come out to look at the tree again. He’s not sure when it will be cut down.

Thank you Stephen and Mayor Jushua Garcia for getting the tree cut down. It took 5 1/2 years to get the prior Mayor and his staff that failed miserably doing their job. Again thank you so much. Hopefully the tree removal truck will come to pick up the tree soon.

Once the tree removal truck comes back to pick up the tree I will close the case.

Please close this issue everything has been resolved. It took 6 years .
