The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

A young city-planted tree at 9 Dormington Drive has a main trunk bent at approximately 30-40 degrees from vertical, likely struck by a snowplow. The structural damage prevents the tree from self-correcting, and it requires immediate bracing to restore vertical position or full replacement to prevent further weakening, death, or potential hazard if the trunk snaps.

Description · in the reporter's words

City owned and planted tree has been hit by a snowplow and the tree needs to be braced in a vertical position or fully replaced.
