The City of New Haven cut several trees down on Dayton street this past thursday....I believe in an effort to prepare for sidewalk reconstruction. The root systems in some of the large elm trees have misaligned older parts of the sidewalk. Sidewalk flooding has always been a problem on this street and the removal of the trees without any additional remediation has significantly exacerbated the issue. Flooding is now occurring on residents lawns and will undoubtedly result in excess basement seepage...mold etc..... What is the city going to do to address this issue?
