As many Members have noted, the large Sycamore tree located in the Block 3 central stairway is bursting the planter retaining wall, its leaves are clogging nearby roof drains, and it continues to pose a high risk of damage or injury from large falling branches. In response, HCA recently approved removal and replacement of this tree as soon as possible. HCA is now reviewing cost estimate and Arborist reports, and will be applying for required RA DRB approval.
