Dear Neighbors,

For the past eight years we have spent thousands of dollars trying to save the magnificent European Beech Tree in front of 15 Mill Street. Every year we have had it fertilized and pruned by professional arborists and even cabled two years ago. Each year, another part of the tree has died. This past winter the entire center section of this massive tree died and another section, closest to the street, is rotting. Because of our concern regarding the danger of a massive limb falling and severely injuring or killing someone or doing significant property damage, we asked three different tree services for input into the situation. All three are in total agreement that the tree cannot be saved and must be taken down, as it is now a significant risk to life and property.

The City has sent over the drawings for the renovation of Byrne Playground.  To see them, please open the attachment below.

The drawings are meant to be printed on very large paper, so you will need to zoom in to see any detail.
