Dear PoPville

“government informed me that they aren’t responsible for repairs because those bricks were not put there by the city”

“Dear PoPville,

Without warning, DDOT removed a dying tree from our tree box and in the process destroyed the brickwork that bordered the tree box area. This brickwork design is used for all the tree boxes along the 1000 k st ne block. A previous resident paid for all these designs.

Speaking with DC government they informed me that they aren’t responsible for repairs because those bricks were not put there by the city. Has anyone encountered destruction of their tree box setup and know how to best restore what was previously there? Just feels unfair to have to pay the cost on my own.

(Note: my local government officials were very informative about this situation to the best of their knowledge-so this should not be read as overly critical to ward 6 government officials.)”
