Utility tree trimming practices
Summary
Board members aired frustration that utility tree-trimming crews are 'butchering' mature street trees along Davidson Avenue, Route 287, Elizabeth Avenue and Cedar Grove Lane with no apparent accountability. The board wants to check whether the shade tree ordinance requires certified arborists and whether it's enforced.
