Watch: City Begins Tree Trimming Project

For the next few months, City of Alexandria residents will see increased activity along many city streets associated with the implementation of the city’s Urban Forestry Master Plan.

The Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Activities is launching a proactive tree maintenance program to enhance its efforts to prune dead or broken limbs from trees, and to remove hazardous trees where necessary.

Roadways covered by this work plan include King Street, Commonwealth Avenue, Mt. Vernon Avenue, U.S. Route 1, Washington Street and several thoroughfares in Warwick Village. Overhanging limbs and leaning trees along South Van Dorn Street and Timber Branch Parkway also will receive trimming.
