Elm losses near Berkshire Court prompt planting plan changes
Three elm trees on East Street in Pittsfield have fallen to Dutch Elm disease, leaving few elms and signaling more removals. The Shade Tree Commission under Kingsley R. Fall is pursuing replacements, but large trees once framing the parkway have yet to be matched in scale. City planning director E. Boris Stahm will urge a zoning amendment to curb repeated rezoning petitions used to delay development as Wasserman Development Corp faces opposition to a 251 unit apartment project.
