Thank you for reporting your concern to City of Cambridge via Commonwealth Connect. We have reviewed the information you provided our staff and will be investigating this issue further. This has been received as Service Request #4081.

Someone needs to investigate what is causing a large# of trees on Roberts Road, Hovey Avenue as well as parts of the adjacent sections of Cambridge and Ellery Streets to go into serious decline. It's a veritable zone of tree distress -

Investigation by City Arborist is called for if large number of trees are stressed around Spaulding and the other medical buildings.

Dorrie, please explain further. I’m curious. Does this mean the medical buildings and their machines/chemicals are causing trees to die? Or grow thicker into sidewalks?

A work task has been assigned for this issue.

It’s probably the same reason everyone on Roberts road has cancer or has passed away very young from cancer. Harvard Vanguard used to be a chemical plant. I’m sure the street, soil, water pipes etc etc is loaded with decades worth of dangerous chemicals.

Thank you for reporting this issue to us. We are pleased to report back to you that this issue is now resolved.
