Hi, I am curious who is responsible for trimming the overhanging trees over the footpaths - is it the City of Cambridge or the homeowners? This issue has become pretty major on Rindge Ave as well, and several of the side streets in North Cambridge. I completely agree that it is concerning these overhangs are not being taken care of, since several people brushing under them during the day could easily transmit the virus.
