Street Trees

The four trees flanking the crosswalk in front of Chipotle look like they're struggling. If they're not watered regularly, seems like rain may not be enough to sustain them.

Daniel Street from Forrester to the west, to Olcott on the east, has numerous trees that are mature with low hanging branches. Not only are the trees dropping limbs routinely that find their way to the sewer drains and are causing clogs and water to build up on the road, but they are a hazard as personal vehicles and commercial vehicles travel this section of road daily and hit them and/or vehicles are constantly swerving to miss them and narrowly miss hitting approaching vehicles, and there have been near misses with people on bikes, walkers, kids, etc. The city needs to take the time to send out crews to work this entire road and take down all the low limbs on these trees so that there are none coming in contact with vehicles, and really trim them back so not hanging over the road. Thank you!
large tractor-trailer broke a branch off street tree--still attached but also on the ground. It is too high for me to saw the branch through. I have dragged it to the grassy strip but it need to be cut through and removed.
Trees damaged by storm in late June, large Hackberry on Allen St split and broken limbs hanging over street from several trees on Palmer St side.
This summer the city installed speed cushions and bump-outs in Park Ridge East along Morningside Drive. Native trees and shrubs were planted as part of this greenway improvement project. We experienced what seems to have been vandalism last night—the dogwood tree that the city installed in the traffic bump-out in front of our house was snapped off. It doesn’t appear to be the type of damage a deer would have caused (photo attached) which would be the only other explanation. Will the city be replacing this tree?
The street tree in front of our house is dead. The ID number is 34219.
There is planter in the Right-Of-Way with wild flowers that goes into the parking. City maintains these but it has overgrown. Dump truck came around the corner and I almost got hit. Could this please be trimmed back so there are no accidents?
There is a big tree that has started falling towards Swain Ave. It is located just north of my property in an old city alleyway. Right now, the tree is held up by two communication lines. I called Duke and they said it was not their lines. I’d hate for it to fall onto someone’s car or worse on Swain Ave.

A dead tree was just removed from this location this week. Is it possible that another tree be planted here? It is completely empty now and locks pretty bare. Also the stump wasn’t removed after they cut it, are they going to do that?
