Description
When City repaired sidewalks around street trees several years ago, contractor evidently used construction fill dirt/concrete/debris to fill around street trees. No doubt bid called for landscape dirt at minimum. I just dug up area to install mulch & discovered this, & debris is available for inspection. Contractor should be barred from future city contracts & OPW supervisor should be disciplined up to & including firing for this FRAUD. Look at next steeet tree, 1-2 houses down, for evidence of same fraud. Terrible for trees AND taxpayers.
