SASKATOON — City crews will begin annual tree maintenance on Tuesday, Sept. 3, pruning trees on civic property in the Meadowgreen and Sutherland neighbourhoods.The summer elm pruning ban is lifted each year at the end of August.
This is part of the city’s boulevard tree maintenance program, where maintenance crews will work in the two neighbourhoods until Dec. 15.
The Boulevard Tree Maintenance Program follows a regular pruning cycle to help preserve the health of the city's tree inventory.
It also eliminates hazards and provides clearance from buildings, signs, streetlights and utility wires. Tree maintenance often requires road restrictions.
The City reminds pedestrians, cyclists and drivers to prioritize safety by respecting the work zone and obeying all road restrictions and signage.
