Look up box elder, or ash maple and see if that is it. Maple and ash

Thanks. Appears to be in the ballpark, but BE has the pinnately compound
leaves. My tree looks to be palmately compound.
Surely a maple, but since in a yard, could be any number of cultivars.
Looks like no maple I've ever seen. I can post a pic if you're
interested.

Dense urban area. There are several between the sidewalk and the street.
The city (St. Louis) plants most trees in this location. They commonly
plant scarlet/pin oak, silver maple, bradford pear.

Bradford pear is a cultivar?
Post some shots, curiosity thing, ya know. By the way, I grew up in
Ferguson, probably saw the same trees.

The first 4. You'll likely have to zoom in to tell much about leaf

I'm in S. city. Ferguson may/may-not have planted such flora.
