PROJECT2016 MAIN STREET SIDEWALK PROJECT TREE REMOVALS AND REPLACEMENTS The TAB served in an advisory capacity to the project managers on the Main Street Sidewalk paving project. We worked to find creative solutions to tree-infrastructure conflict in order to minimize the number of trees that needed to be removed and we advised on plans for their replacement. Trees were removed only in cases where the extent of work within their root zone would have rendered the tree unsafe. 5 trees necessitated removal as part of this project and 9 trees were slated to replace them along the Main Street and Furnace Street work zones. These trees were planted on Arbor Day, April 28, 2017! |
The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now. |
