This project provides tree maintenance to comply with the city’s ordinance which requires overhead clearance of 14 feet above the road surface.

It will not entail trimming trees around aerial utilities which is the responsibility of electric, phone and cable television providers.

No street closures are anticipated and all local traffic will have access to their properties. However, at isolated work areas, vehicular traffic will be narrowed to one lane with flag men.
