    The lack of care for the City Trees along New Scotland Av, from West Lawrence St to So. Manning Bl. Upon inspection, there are piles of fallen leaves and weeds growing at their bases. As the weather changes, this can become a hazardous area for both pedestrians and vehicles.

    149 Holmes Dale - Buckingham Lake-Crestwood
    There is a female ginko tree in front of my house that produces hundreds of seeds every other year. These seeds are enclosed in a sac that when stepped on produces a strong smell, and a stain that's hard to remove from an auto or clothing. People who walk on my section of Holmes Dale generally walk in the street to avoid the pile of seeds on the sidewalk. I'm respectfully requesting the City Forester to come look at the ginko to determine whether the branches should be cut back (to reduce the number of seeds produced) or the tree possibly removed. A neighbor of mine had his fremale ginko tree removed by the City several years ago and replaced with a couple of maple trees. Thanks very much for your help with this problem

    Potholes - Starting at #160 Holmes Dale and continuing to the bottom of the street it is a minefield of potholes. The holes are quite bad and there is a dip and hole outside my home at #145 in which all trucks/cars hit with a bang.

    166 Rosemont Street Albany, New York - Albany
    I'm writing because a large branch has died on the large Silver Maples in front of my house at 166 Rosemont Street. My neighbors have told me that all of the Silver Maples are City-owned and that I should contact you to discuss the possibility of having the branch removed. It is located over a sidewalk and parking area and may present a health and safety issue. Thanks.
