Description
This particular spot used to have three dogwood trees and was well maintained. Two of the trees have died and nothing has been replaced. Also, all of West Broad Street above the I-95 overpass have dead or dying trees. A lot of attention has been spent on lower West Broad but upper west broad has been ignored since the early 1960's when flowering cherry trees were planted uniformly on the street. There are a few remainingand they are slowly dying.

George Washington traveled this road and stopped at an Inn and dined on fried oysters for the first time. This is also the road used for the first mail route and pony express which is noted in several spot along the road extending to Barnum Ave. Lastly, its been mentioned that Goode Bassett (witch of Stratford) was hung near the spot of Cumberland Farm gas station upwards to Knowlton St.
This road NEEDS beautification with trees, decorative street lamps and sidewalks. ALSO, there are houses that need the attention of the Blight office, Especially the pink house on the corner of West Broad and Winfield Drive.
