On Wednesday, September 4th, the Highway Division will be working with Green Mountain Power to remove a tree near the corner of Oak St. and Chapin St.
In preparation of an upcoming paving project, this tree was inspected by the tree warden to consider trimming. Upon inspection, it was determined that the tree is in poor health with significant rot. Due to the concern for nearby utilities, buildings, and traffic it was determined that the tree should be removed.
This project is expected to be completed Wednesday September 4th, between the hours of 7am and 3pm, weather Permitting. Chapin St. will be closed between Linden St. and Oak St. Oak St. will be closed between Chapin St. and Grove St. Access will be available for residents in the affected areas.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Department of Public Works at 254-4255.
Doubtful, but
Will a new oak tree be planted to replace it?
Oak Street should have big old oaks on it.
