Resolved. All public street trees in the City of Boston and Massachusetts are protected by state law (MGL CH 87). The BPRD Urban Forestry Division is unable to remove a live and healthy public shade tree for the reason requested. The only way this tree could be removed for the reason requested is if the Public Works Department was planning to reconstruct all of Beryl Street to make the sidewalks ADA compliant and to have public tree hearings for the possible removal of each shade tree on the street that is interfering with sidewalk passage. A case has been made to the Public Works Department to inspect the sidewalk for repair.

Noted. The City of Boston Urban Forestry Division does not install or maintain tree fences placed around our public street trees. The fences were all paid for and installed by abutting property owners or the Ellis South End Neighborhood Association. Please reach out to the Ellis South End Neighborhood Association (https://www.ellisneighborhood.org/) for information regarding the contractor they use to install and repair these fences. Thank you.
