Does anybody know what happened to the city tree on the street between 19 and 29 Grand Av? It seems to be missing!

It was hit by a vehicle. I reported over the weekend. I hope it's replaced as quickly as the damaged tree was taken away.
I also hope note of the incident is made as it is one more example of the urgent need for traffic calming measures at this intersection.

I remember sawing through the sidewalk to put that tree in before the last round of sidewalk/curb upgrades in Fair Haven. The tree was done through Community Greenspace, and could easily be replaced through the same program. FWIW, the previous owner of the home thought the tree would act as traffic calming on its own, by deflecting out of control, speeding cars on Grand from hitting her house. It was the reason for the exact placement of the tree. It worked! (Although permanent intersection improvements would be better!) 203-432-6189 is the URI number. Grab the neighbors and plant a tree!
