Description

The city owned tree in front of 190 Euclid Ave, 12208 is hazardous. The tree is dying; there is a large canker and it is rotting. You can even push in on the rotted bark and it moves in one section of the trunk. Branches have fallen on our vehicles and one (thankfully smaller) even hit our daughter. There are several dead and rotting branches / trunk sections and obvious signs of internal decay (fungus / mushrooms present) and it's infested with carpenter ants (as identified by a local cooperative extension agent). I am fearful of this tree given the time my family and other neighborhood kids play on the sidewalk. I would like this tree taken down so it no longer presents a safety issue for the neighborhood.
