Who is responsible to maintain the boulevard trees?
On City streets, the property owner is responsible for trimming, cutting, and otherwise maintaining any tree according to City Ordinance 90.05. At periodic intervals a survey of public trees in the City is made to look for diseases that pose a threat as well as for trees that are of risk to the public. If a tree requires removal, the city makes arrangements for its removal or the property owner is notified that it is their responsibility. Trees suspected of being diseased or posing a hazard to the public can be reported to the City Forester for inspection.
