Construction Project Preceded By Tree Removal

The City of Spokane Urban Forestry department wants you to know that yes, they will be removing trees starting next week in advance of the street re-paving project scheduled for Grand Boulevard from 29th Avenue to High Drive. BUT they will be replacing them after the project is complete.

In addition to pruning for vehicle clearance, work starts monday to remove nineteen damaged, declining, or poorly-placed trees. In their place 38 replacement trees will be planted this fall after the street construction is complete.

The new trees will be provided by the Spokane County Conservation District at no cost to homeowners.
