CONSERVATION, SAFETY, AND NOISE
CSN-A-1
Plant new trees and other
plantings, and maintain
existing healthy trees
Structural pruning and tree maintenance is an ongoing effort for the Public Works Maintenance Division and is especially focused after leaf drop in the fall. On case by case basis, tree replacements are typically installed per the site specific recommendations of the Arborist and City standards related to tree installation in the public right of way. Currently there is a city-wide tree planting effort to increase tree canopy, especially in equity areas.
Approved private developments are often conditioned to improve the urban forest within the public right of way along development project frontages and to maintain tree health into the future. The WELO requires minimum rootable soil volumes for all new trees planted and the City arborist is consulted for the selection of tree species that will thrive in the site specific conditions they are planted in.
