Default ID help: tree, and red spikes on leaves

Hi all,

I need some help identifying the kind of tree outside my house planted
by the city several years ago.

More importantly I'd like to know what those ugly "red spikes" on some
of the leaves are. Are they mite galls? If so, how to get rid of them?
About 20% of the leaves have these spikes.

Here are some pictures I just took today:

Thanks and have a nice day.
