Frequently Asked Questions

Boulevards are the city-owned portion of the street right-of-way between the curb and the private property line. Most property lines do not go all the way to the back of the street curb. There does not necessarily have to be a sidewalk or trail along the road to make an area a boulevard.

Boulevard trees are routinely trimmed by the city to remove broken or dead limbs, to maintain structure, and for pedestrian and vehicle clearance.

The city removes boulevard trees that are dead, dying, and/or hazardous. Attempts are made to notify property owners on the adjoining lot in advance of this action.

The city does not replace boulevard trees. Replanting will be at the discretion of the property owner. Trees planted in the boulevards that are in addition to the existing boulevard trees, must receive prior approval from Natural Resources to ensure that the trees planted are an allowable species.

The city does not currently inspect trees on private property. Residents may contact a certified arborist for proper diagnosis of private trees at Trees are Good.
