Crew Member Trimming Tree

2026 Parkway Tree Pruning Program Beginning Soon

The City’s Parkway Tree Pruning Program will soon begin for the 2026 season. City and contracted crews will start pruning parkway trees within the boundaries of Prairie Avenue to the north, Santa Rosa Avenue to the east, Harrison Avenue to the south, and Main Street to the west.

Residents can expect to see City-owned and contractor-owned bucket trucks and chippers in work areas. Signage will be present to notify residents that they are entering an active tree pruning work zone.

For more information about the program, visit the City's website.
