Winter damaged tree is at risk of falling and taking down power and phone lines.

Tree needs to be maintained or taken down. Once this tree blooms, it makes it extremely difficult to walk down the side walk. A stroller or wheelchair cannot get past it. The branches also extend into the street so you can't park. I have already put in one request and was told it was taken care of but it has clearly not been taken care of. No other trees on the street crowd the sidewalk. If it is not going to be properly pruned, which it has not, then it should be removed. In a month or so, no one is going to be able to walk past it.

I am reporting a suspected disease in a public street tree located at Iacono playground/baseball field. The trees is showing significant disease. This black, woody mass is present on almost every tree in the park and is quite significant. I am concerned this may possibily be Black Knot Disease that could spread to other trees in the neighborhood call saying that serious financial loss to homeowners in the neighborhood. Please send an arborist to inspect its health."
