The proposed tree maintenance program is required to accomplish the following: A. Purpose and Activities of Tree Maintenance Program. 1. Preserve the health of the street trees. Dead, diseased or insect infected branches are removed to prevent further infection or decay of the tree. Live branches are trimmed to permit penetration of sunlight and circulation of air through the canopy. Pruning also is done to compensate for the loss of roots from root cutting resulting from construction. Rubbing branches are removed to prevent eventual decay. 2. Insure safety. Dead, split and broken branches are removed to insure public safety. Low handing branches are trimmed to a height where they will not interfere with pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Trimming is also required to insure proper street lighting and vision for traffic control devices. 3. Improve appearance and remove conflicts. Small trees are trimmed to train them to exist under city conditions. As trees mature and grow larger, conflicts with porches, roofs, yard trees, etc. must be corrected. Trimming is needed to improve the appearance of storm damaged trees also. B. 1982 Benefited District Boundaries.
