Description
Shade Trees planted by the town have been heavily damaged. One large Oak has split and fallen onto a large Hemlock and caused great damage. Also, several other trees in the same planting area have lost their limbs. The DPW cleared the top of the oak from the roadway, but hazardous driving in the area continues. Small children playing in or around the area can not be seen by drivers until they clear the treefall and it is dangerous. I did call the DPW after the storm and was told we were put on a list, but the trees have not been cleared. I understand there is a great deal of damage in Concord. Can you tell us when to expect a cleanup?

Storm Debris Cleanup Update from March 7-8, 2018 Nor’easter– Concord Public Works (CPW) crews are continuing to address the removal and pickup of downed public shade trees and storm debris originating within the public right of way from the March 7-8 storm event.
CPW advises that if the tree debris originated from a public shade tree located in the public right of way and fell on private or public property, over the next several months public works crews will be collecting this debris.
