The trees are located along the north side of the construction between Woodcrest and Trailwood Streets. The excavation required for the proposal expansion of Sandy Lake has certainly taken a toll on these trees. Almost half of the root mass has been removed from the trees causing the canopies to be extremely dehydrated. The plans for the project indicate a sidewalk in the immediate area of the trunk of the trees with little or no space for the trees to grow. It is also staff's opinion that removing the trees to another location would only further stress the trees with no probable surv/val. With the above influences upon these trees it is doubtful they have much chance of surviving. It is recommended the trees be removed, as they have become unsightly and disturbing to some residents. If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
