The tree lawns and soil are so eroded in this area that it is threatening the trees

Thank you for reporting your concern to City of Cambridge via Commonwealth Connect. We have reviewed the information you provided our staff and will be investigating this issue further.

Two snowstorms ago, the plow worsened this, and many more like it in this neighborhood (the Larches). I called DPW then to ask that the plows be more careful. Some of these areas have the potential to be restored as grass.

Thank you for reporting your concerns about the sidewalk condition. As you can imagine, the City has more need for infrastructure improvements than available resources, but we've inspected this location and added it to our miscellaneous sidewalk repairs list. These locations are done on a rolling basis, with some prioritized over others, so the repair at this specific location may not occur for several months or even years.

Please feel free to contact Dan Riviello, Community Relations Manager, at driviello@cambridgema.gov if you have questions.
