Some boroughs have been doing a great job of adding trees to streets that never had them (eg rue de Bienville on the Plateau). And the new device being used on recently renovated streets like St-Hubert and Peel means those trees will thrive more than their predecessors. But in so many spots around the city, the management of existing street trees is horrible. When you walk downtown there are hundreds of spots where trees have disappeared and never been replanted.

Don’t even get me started on the brutal overpruning Hydro Quebec does…
That said, almost all the maple trees on Laurier between Parc and St Laurent have verticillium wilt and over the years I’ve seen it spread from tree to tree all along the strip. I called the city some 10 years ago when I noticed it taking hold around St. Urbain and nobody had any clue whatsoever what I was talking about or who to direct me to. There must be city arborists but I am guessing they are few and far between, and probably most of their time is taken up with ash trees and removing dying trees.
