Good Afternoon All,

 

On August 3, 2021 a vehicle traveling Northbound crashed at the circle on Rhode Island Avenue and Perry Street damaging the Zelkova tree pictured above.

 

As the City’s Roadside Tree Care Expert, I regret to inform you that due to the impact caused by the accident, the tree was unhealthy and/or posed a hazard. The City had a contractor remove this tree earlier today, Wednesday, August 4th.

 

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me directly at (301) 985-6583 or rlatorre@mountrainiermd.org.

 

Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation.
