Most of the Bradfords are 40+ years old and were the city tree of choice at the time. As they age/die, the city’s forestry program is replacing them with a hardier tree. Things change as we understand the issues more clearly and the city’s forestry program is changing with the times.

The city tree team doesn't plant these. Maybe in the distant past, but more likely flippers and developers these days.

Just stay off your phone and don't have EarPods in, although that's probably in any relatively dangerous areas

These trees are not hardy, they’re cheap to buy and plant. The Bradford pear trees drop branches anytime it gets windy. I paid an arborist to remove the one on front of my house years ago because it dropped large, ten in diameter branches on my car. I always worried a branch would fall on someone.
We replaced them with redbuds in our backyards, much prettier pinkish red blooms and no dropped branches. I don’t believe the city does a good job with their tree programs.

This is something residents are asking for. If these tickets pay to fill a pothole, I’m all for it.

Yeah, I’ve heard the smell compared to semen lol

If they smell kinda questionable, probably Bradford pear trees. They are hardy in cities but don't have the best scent when they bloom.

[Edited] I originally thought they were all dogwood, but it looks like a lot of what I thought was dogwood is pear trees! This website has a really cool map: https://baltimore.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0ce01d6c99d64e50993de4ad47da8b9d

Once I had a person stop in my lane closure on I-95 to ask for directions. It took a lot of strength not to give them a frontal lobotomy with my awl.

I’d be surprised by that. It is, after all, an urban city.

yes let's please pat ourselves in the back for revenue generation and not addressing any of the core problems of the city, or doing anything productive to solve them!!

That footbridge has been gated and overgrown. My best friend lives at the very last house on Ash/Clipper mill and we just walked that walk last week after going to Birrotecca.

Southwest is always hiring most positions at BWI. All unionized, starting pay at 17 an hour, some of the best benefits in the industry and free flights!

this is Baltimore city. when has the money actually been allocated positively?
we pay insanely high property taxes but it roads are shit and the schools are failing. or police budget is astronomical compared to other cities this size, but crime is overly rampant.
but hey yeah let's pay some dude to make Reddit post weekly about how many tickets we issue to people parking in bike lanes. that will set this city on the right course!
