Street tree permitting, pruning, and planting is all managed by the Parks Maintenance Division of the Parks and Recreation Department. Each fall and spring we plant approximately 50 street trees as a result of resident requests for planting. During the winter months, typically January and February, staff provide “clearance” pruning services to one third of the city’s street trees each year. Clearance pruning includes identifying and removing any tree limbs that grow lower than 14 feet over roadways and 8 feet over sidewalks. This work ensures the safe passage of commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses along roadways and pedestrian use of sidewalks.
