Project update - tree removal and pruning

Before the start of construction, the contractor (Terracon Underground Ltd.) as well as City of Waterloo Forestry staff will be on-site to remove and prune trees.

Terracon has hired an arborist sub-contractor to remove the trees located on City owned property that need to be removed before construction. Trees that are directly on top of underground infrastructure in need of maintenance, need to be removed.

City of Waterloo Forestry staff will also be on-site to prune branches of trees overhanging City property that are at risk of being hit by construction equipment and causing excessive damage to the tree.
