i’ve seen some like this that seemed to be some weird cultivar of sweetgum, or maybe some close relative from elsewhere. do you have pics of the tree?

I’m guessing Field Maple

If you have a smart phone, then the Seek app is very good. It works without a signal. You can also post to iNaturalist where a bunch of people will kindly help you. I used both when I first moved to the US and helped me identify and learn about lots of trees and plants in my new home.

Cargo bikes are cool

I feel it looks more like tulip poplar than sweetgum.
