If your tree is removed as a part of the sidewalk repair…
The City will fund the purchase and perform the planting of a replacement tree in the right of way (not on private property), from the list of City-approved street trees. It is important to note that tree replacement plantings performed by the City may occur up to 12 months after the repair is complete. A new tree will not necessarily be planted right away.
In order to minimize future sidewalk damage and encourage the roots to go deep into the soil away from paved surfaces, all new trees planted must be watered by the property owner to City specifications. This will be coordinated between the property once the sidewalk repairs are complete.
The City does incur the cost of street tree work removal and replacement, including root trimming, stump grinding, removal/ replacement (up to a maximum of $5,000 City contribution for commercial and $7,500 for residential properties)
