Reason(s) for Tree Removal: Roots are uplifting sidewalk and impeding access to adjacent fire exit to buliding. Significant sidewalk uplift is along primary path to adjacent school from bus stop. Required root pruning will severely impact health of tree. Significant decay in trunk cavity from previous branch failure has an increased risk of trunk failure given species failure profile. Location is replantable.
