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. This has been received as Service Request #8732.

This happened on poplar rd as well. The tree was dead so they cut it down and never replaced it. Sad they don’t replace them.

Hello, just following up on this request. We spoke to an arborist who agreed that it would be a wonderful location for a large shade tree, now that the old tree has been cut. Could the city please look into it and plan to plant one?

A work task has been assigned for this issue.

Hello, following up on this request: when is the city planning to plant this tree? It appears that we are at the end of the Fall planting season.

427 Huron Ave is on the spring 2024 tree planting list.

Thank you!

Hello, regarding this tree planting at 427 Huron Avenue that is planned this season - since it is a very large open space available and a large shade-providing tree would work well there, could we please request a sugar maple be planted by the city? One the residents of 427 Huron Ave (me) is allergic to oak pollen, hence we are requesting the sugar maple as the choice for this large hole to be filled by sizeable canopy. Thank you!

Hi Gairik,
We no longer plant sugar maples as street trees. They do not do well with pollution or road salt. A linden tree has been selected to be planted at 427 Huron this spring.
Thank you,
Abby
