- Description
- Bakersfield and Annapolis St. both get extremely hot during the summer, which is partially due to the lack of tree cover. Residents near that corner (myself included) could greatly benefit from the cooling effects provided by greater canopy cover. Those benefits are especially important considering that it is a low-income, historically redlined neighborhood that faces disproportionate economic and health consequences as a result of this historical environmental injustice. 25 Bakersfield is currently a parking lot used by very few residents. There are usually only about 5-10 cars parked there at any given time, although the lot has space for at least 20 cars. It does not have any tree pits at the moment, but there should be plenty of space to install them given that so few residents use that parking lot. | Reside at this location: [No] Explaint: [I live two doors down from this corner.] Owner of the property: [No] Sidewalk tree or a private lawn plantings: [Sidewalk tree] Multiple street trees: [Yes]

Noted | Thank you for your interest in increasing the canopy in the City of Boston. In order for the BPRD Urban Forestry Division to ensure the success of our new street trees we require that the property owner who directly abuts where the new tree is being requested to be planted be the one who makes the request for a new tree. Only requests made by the actual abutting property owner will be inspected for new tree pit installment and planting. Requests can be made via the 311 app, by calling 311 or by calling the Park Line at 617-635-7275. Thank you.
