Tree Trimming Schedule For Summer Announced
The city plans a 1956 tree trimming program starting about May 10 with about 5 200 trees to be trimmed by two crews in east and west Cedar Rapids. A permanent five man crew plus an extra helper will operate on each river side with four climbers and a brush digger per crew. Streets will be posted with warnings for cars under trees. The effort doubles the scope of last year with many areas across Cedar Rapids listed for trimming including SE and NE corridors and riverfront zones.
