Burden of Too Many Tributes Fells Tree in Cambridge MA

At the intersection of Chilton Street and Concord Avenue, there are three tribute markers for prominent Cambridge residents. It is a way for the Cambridge City Council to honor citizens who contributed to the greatness of the city. But they usually reserve an entire intersection for one person naming it the person's square. In this case there are three markers. Perhaps that burden caused a large nearby tree to fall down. Included is a sign restricting traffic with the unstated exception for Harvard vehicles. For Harvard in Massachusetts laws are optional.

APR 3 2006 Roy Bercaw Speaks to Cambridge City Council

Roy Bercaw discusses emissions reduction suggesting that wind turbines be placed on Cambridge open space in Lincoln MA, and on Harvard's property in Allston. He adds that the hot air generated at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government be captured to remove snow and ice from city streets in winter. He notes that it is not necessary to replace trees if you don't cut them down. Bercaw explains that serving persons without homes is now a big business serving the politicians and the human services industry. The Civic Unity Committee of the City Council excludes persons with disabilities from their programs promoting employment of vulnerable citizens. It is, he says, unequal protection of the laws.
