Last week Civic Pride's Sponsor-A-Spot site at the Court Street Rotary sustained heavy damage when a car jumped the curb and took down the large tree at the center of the island. The sign indicating the sponsor, Foley, Palenscar Schortmann Insurance Agency, was also taken down in the accident. Workers from the Department of Public Works removed the tree debris. At some point the remaining tree trunk will have to be dug out and the site replanted. Luckily no one was hurt in the accident.
This is the second site that Civic Pride manages that has been damaged by a car. Two months ago, in January, the Roscia Plumbing and Heating site on Milton Street in East Dedham was damaged when a car jumped the curb, took out the Sponsor-A Spot sign and tore a large limb off the tree at the site.
