<br /> <br />Q13: Does the City have the right to remove parkway strips, concrete, pavement, and/or cobble <br />to plant new trees? <br />The city has the authority to remove any existing improvements in the public rights of way where city trees <br />are planted to ensure that the tree has adequate room to grow. The City discourages improvements to this <br />area which can restrict the trees ability to thrive. Concrete, decorative pavers, plantings and cobble are <br />commonly installed by homeowners which may inadvertently affect city tree health. In such cases, these <br />additions may be removed. The City is not responsible for repairing improvements made by the property <br />owner in the parkway strip. The City can also remove existing improvements (concrete, gravel/cobbles, <br />pavers, plants) in the parkway strip to plant a new tree. It is recommended to contact the city parks division <br />before making any improvements in the right of way. <br />City Contact Information <br />Tree Preservation Ordinance and “Protected Trees”: <br />Sarah Hosterman <br />Landscape Architect Assistant <br />925-931-5514 <br /> <br />City-Owned Trees: <br />Parks Maintenance Division <br />925-931-5500 <br /> <br />Trees Required by Conditions of Approval or Planned Unit Development (PUD): <br />Planning Division <br />925-931-5600 <br />Monday* - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. <br />*Planners are not available on Mondays from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. <br /> <br />E-mail: http://www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/contact/services/contact <br />
