Upcoming Tree Removal Near Quail Run Park
We want to keep our community safe and accessible for everyone! In the coming days, we will be removing a few trees adjacent to Quail Run Park that have caused damage to the sidewalk. This is the first step in our plan to repair the sidewalk and remove root trip hazards in the near future. To maintain the beauty and shade in the area, we will also be replacing these trees with a more suitable variety on the other side of the sidewalk. Our goal is to create a long-term solution that balances safety and sustainability. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to improve our community spaces!
