Jamestown (CSi)  Jamestown Public Works informs residents, that City Street Department crews will be working throughout the city trimming trees & shrubbery in alleyways in anticipation of the recycling program to prevent interference with maintenance equipment. Trees must be trimmed up to 16 feet high.

The city points out that it is the homeowner’s responsibility to maintain the trees and shrubbery adjacent to the alley ways. When this responsibility is neglected, it becomes the duty of the City to clear overgrowth that threatens public safety.

This is a clearance procedure and should not be mistaken for a complete pruning of trees and/or shrubbery. That procedure should be done by a local tree service.
