What is the City doing to manage ash trees in the public right of way?
Beginning in 2006, the City began removing ash trees over an eight to ten year period (at the rate of roughly 10% a year), with the trees in poor condition being removed first and replaced with other species. So far, over 100 ash trees along City streets have been removed, with more planned soon. The City Tree Commission continues to monitor EAB migration in the event the schedule needs to be adjusted.
