Cedar Rapids adopts year round tree trimming arbors unit
Parks Commissioner Don Gardner announced the conversion of a school bus into an arborist unit enabling Cedar Rapids crews to trim trees year round. The four to five climbers plus a foreman will work through sap flow and icy periods, removing deadwood to curb Dutch elm disease. The bus, once a rural school vehicle, now houses tools and takes crews to sites nightly. The move accompanies plans for expanded municipal court space and zoning policy improvements by the City Plan Commission, with details on meeting places and a new zoning decision checklist.
