The Request

A 311 service request for tree or stump removal was filed on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at 6:35 a.m. at the intersection of Cedar Park and Cedar Street in Roxbury. As of the time of this report, the case status remains open.

What This Means for the Neighborhood

The request signals a potential public maintenance need at or near Cedar Park, a green space in the Roxbury neighborhood. Open 311 cases are tracked through the City of Boston's public service-request system, which logs complaints and work orders across all neighborhoods.

What to Watch

The key follow-up question is whether the city closes the case within its standard service window and whether additional tree-related 311 requests are filed nearby in the coming days or weeks. A cluster of similar reports in the area could indicate a broader canopy maintenance gap.
