The Village of Allouez
Forestry Division will be maintaining trees along the streets throughout the
community this winter. Urban forestry
staff will be pruning village street trees in Management Units 9 and 8 (see
attached map) for clearances and the health of the trees. If a management unit is not completed this
winter, it will be carried over into the next year until all of the street
trees have been maintained as needed.
The Division also performs street tree pruning on a request basis by
homeowners. If you see a need for tree
maintenance, feel free to contact the Parks, Recreation, and Forestry
Department so that we can schedule the work.
In addition the Division will be
performing street clearance pruning of various village street trees and privately
owned trees throughout the community that have been selected by the Public
Works Department. These trees are
encroaching into the street right of way and have been noted due to branches
that are growing too low over the street or sidewalk resulting in safety
concerns or traffic issues. Per the
Village Code of Ordinances, the village is responsible for maintaining 14 feet
clearances over streets and 10 feet over sidewalks as well as providing clear
vision for motorists and pedestrians.
Please feel free to
contact the Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department at 448-2805 if you have
questions or would like to request maintenance of street trees in your
neighborhood.
