Tree Trimming Underway Along Bridgeport Way

University Place, WALocal News

The City of University Place has commenced tree trimming along Bridgeport Way, focusing on the area from 27th to 44th streets. This maintenance is vital to ensure public safety by preventing tree branches from encroaching on power lines and removing any low or dying branches that might fall on pedestrians or vehicles. The initiative also aims to keep sight lines clear and maintain the overall health of the trees by controlling their growth. Residents are encouraged to exercise caution and slow down near work crews as they conduct their operations over the next few weeks, with the project expected to wrap up by the end of February. Community engagement is vital, and for any questions or to report problems, Tony West is available at the contact number provided.

This proactive approach reflects the city's commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for its residents. Tree maintenance not only enhances safety but also contributes to the aesthetic appeal of the community. Overall, this initiative underscores the importance of regular city maintenance programs in fostering a safe and vibrant urban landscape.
