Street Trees:

Other: There is a tree, i have continued issuing complaints about, in front of metal works that is dying and falling over. Since i have been here for just one year the tree has fallen quite a bit more, its now to the point it has raised the entire sidewalk from road to the building and isnt stopping. The sidewalk cant be ground down anymore as the raise of the sidewalk has become too high. On the building side, it has raised the sidewalk all the way to my handicapped ramp and doesnt not seem it will stop anytime soon. On the street side, it has now made such a high difference between the sidewalk and the curb that people trip over all the time. The tree is dying and there is constantly branches and debris all over cars. Before anymore damage occurs, especially to the building and the handicapped ramp, along with the entire sidewalk itself, can it please be removed? On this stretch of 6th street every old dying tree has been replaced but much smaller reasonable trees except this one, and just one other further up to the square. Not only would removing these old decrepit damage causing trees be very benefifial to society especially the handicapped, but to replace these two dying trees with smaller matching trees would make our street more beautiful and noticeable and over all safer for everyone. Please very much consider coming and meeting with me about this tree. Thank you.
