Tree down in Tompkins Square Park

The high winds today brought down a tree (updated: one of the grand American Elms) in Tompkins Square Park... EVG reader Eddie shared these photos, showing the fallen tree near the entrance on Avenue A and St. Mark's Place...
While this is the second large tree to fall during a storm this year ... workers did plant up to 20 new ones in the Park late last year.

Updated 5:30 p.m.

Steven shared these photos...
... and late this afternoon... crews were on the scene ... the St. Mark's Place entrance is currently closed...

    Love the squirrel patrol though. They probably had a stash of nuts under that tree.
