What is the City’s plan for maintaining trees along streets and in parks?
A. City personnel are maintaining trees in public rights-of-way to the best of their abilities. However, with budgetary limitations, there is always more that can be done. We encourage property owners to help by watering newly planted trees and helping keep the gratings weed free by pulling weeds and using mulch. Do not use plant-killing chemicals around a tree since it is dangerous to the tree’s health. Please contact the Parks and Recreation Department if you see any signs of disease or damage to streets in planting strips or parks.
