Comment 1:
Yes. Unfortunately, they did kill those trees today
(I have some photos).
[ed: Posted above. These are the trees on the median of Main Street / Broadway, Cambridge’s extension of the Longfellow Bridge. The trees on the ramp from Memorial Drive to the Longfellow Bridge heading to Boston are better. They have not been destroyed YET.]

Comment 2:
So, I think the reform we might want to try to push for,
is a reform for better transparency. If people (especially
government and its contractors) are required to register
their applications to cut trees and their actual tree
cuttings on a publicly viewable website, this would go
a long way towards better visibility into this problem
and would help to protect trees.
Further (although this might be too ambitious), if
the process of bidding for the public work of this kind,
and the itemized payments for the public work of this kind
are legally required to be made publicly available on
the Internet, this would go a long way towards curbing
the abuses and corruption we see all around us.
This might be something to try to organize people
around...

Ed: Transparency in government starts with the fake groups and the fake activists.
The fake neighborhood association has a woman griping about signs on the building across from the Destroyed Nesting Area. She previously was griping about signs in Kendall Square.
No concern whatsoever about meaningful environmental destruction with the assistance of the City of Cambridge at Kendall and at the Destroyed Nesting Area. Or the hundreds of trees they are fighting to destroy on Memorial Drive.
But these people will lie, non stop, that they are environmentalists.
Transparency has to start with the fake groups and the fake activists. They keep the rogue city government of the City of Cambridge going, yelling that they are saving the world, totally secretive about their destruction of Cambridge, with their friends.
The automatic reaction is ALWAYS that they would never stoop so long. It is a direct result of the nonstop flat out lying by the Cambridge Machine about being holier than thou.
