Tree Removal Application TREE-0467-2026 — Emerson Park

Description

Nine trees at Emerson Park were recommended for removal with eleven replanted; a 10-inch oak should be kept if a fence can be adjusted, and replacements must be oaks picked by the City Arborist.

Impact summary

The park gets a major facelift and more trees overall, though members questioned fencing costs and small tree wells.
