SARATOGA SPRINGS — Department of Public Works Commissioner Jason Golub announced that the Urban Forestry Division will be performing street tree maintenance on Union Avenue Starting on June 5.
The work will take approximately five days with brief lane closures for the removal of twelve large trees in various states of decline under power lines, and the planting of twenty-four utility-line friendly trees.
The project will be performed in coordination with National Grid’s tree service vendor to trim trees around power lines. Removals will occur from Monday through Wednesday, and new plantings will take place on Thursday and Friday. Newly planted trees will be eligible for a $50 reimbursement, to the City, from National Grid as part of their “10,000 Trees” initiative.
