That sidewalk tree looks very leaf-barren even for this time of year.

I feel like someone should have surveyed this tree and taken it down before it fell.

It's not surveyed until something is said through the 311 system. I'd noted a couple trees that didn't seem to get enough water in one of the municipal lots; they are late to leaf and quick to drop leaves. There are other signs of not doing well, so I posted a photo expressing concern for people's vehicles. Very quickly I received a response indicating it was being pushed to the DPW who sent an arborist to review. One of the trees was taken down, but the other was deemed safe to stay.

I wonder what it would take to get up to speed like Cambridge to have all the trees surveyed and mapped?

If a tree falls on car in Brighton...does it make a noise? It definitely makes it to Universal Hub!

How many more large trees just like this one on city neighborhood sidewalks waiting to fall, these old large trees should all be inspected by the city.
