Thanks for reporting. I have referred this to the City’s Housing and Environmental Inspections Division. When the inspectors have had a chance to investigate I will post an update.

Although I also make comments about this tree whenever I walk our dog past here I would hate to see the shape of this beautiful tree be destroyed to re-establish sidewalk access.
This issue can be easily resolved but will need someone with a skilled eye and some landscaping experience to ensure the tree is not improperly dealt with. As a neighbor with 30 years landscaping experience I'm happy to offer advice or help to shape the tree (for free).

I agree w jeff. The tree is a beautiful ornamental one and must be carefully addressed. I've walked past it many times. You do need to step towards the curb to avoid it but just cutting it off would be a shame.

The real shame is that the owner doesn't give a rat's a$$ about his or her neighbors...that's the shame. There is never an excuse to block the sidewalk for months on end...be it a tree, or garbage cans or whatever. Common courtesy.
