The following quotes were given by the Park <br />Department's City Forester. <br />On May 9, 2010, the Commission approved the planting of 14 trees on the grassy lot at the <br />corner of Jefferson & Main. This simple act drew multiple compliments from area <br />businesses and passersby, as did the plantings along William Street. To continue our <br />efforts at this highly visible corner, staff would like to plant 18 Crabapple trees on the grassy <br />lot two lots south of the first one. Total cost, including the trees and their planting is $4,900. <br />The second area is the stretch of Jefferson / Wayne streets, west of the bridge (along the <br />"S" curve by Crowe). There are a total of 12 missing trees between the bridge and <br />Lafayette. Ash trees currently line Jefferson. Because of the Emerald Ash Borer, the new <br />trees will be Honey Locust. Included are two missing Pear trees on Wayne, between Main <br />and Lafayette. Total cost for this area is $4,100. <br />Total cost of these two quotes is $9,000. Staff requests your approval of these quotes, to <br />allow the Ciiy Forester to begin the planting of these trees. <br />What We Do Today Makes A Difference! <br />
