Request was reviewed by Urban Forester Fernando Lage, Parks Deputy and Deputy Tree Warden Bill Carone and Park Ranger Bavir. Undergrowth removal will not negatively impact park and will enhance public safety. Permissions granted.

Where does it say that the removals will only be 'Undergrowth'?

We created the request and description as a way to notice the permissions given. Unlike street trees there are no posting requirements on the trees within the park and they would be difficult to find.
The trees are all below the wires that feed power to communication tower that is used for our 911 dispatch. The majority are between 3 and 4 inches in diameter (same size of the small trees that we plant in the street) with an additional (2) 7' diameter trees and one 12' diameter tree that are direct hazards.

The issue has been resolved. If you need to report a new issue please do so in See Click Fix or call the Department of Parks, Recreation and Trees at (203) 946 - 8004. Thank you.
