Trees, coming and going
Rosemont is promising 20,000 new trees by 2025. Meantime in Lasalle, a small urban forest was razed without warning by Hydro-Quebec workers, one of whom allegedly showed his bare bottom to a local resident who protested.

I’m all for new trees but does the city or the boroughs do any maintenance/pruning of the trees besides cutting them down once they’ve been dead for years?
There are plenty of examples of overgrown trees/branches that are hiding speed limit panels/stop signs or dead branches overhanging sidewalks.

I live in Villeray and travel through RPP almost daily. I’ve noticed them pruning before. Not sure if it’s sufficient but I can’t recall ever encountering trees that were blocking my way or view.
Calling 311 with specific requests, SPI, could be the most useful way about it. City workers wouldn’t know otherwise.
