Tree trimming is already underway in some areas to prepare for construction. Officials said if a street is scheduled for maintenance, trees that could interfere with construction equipment may need to be trimmed. Tree trimming may also be required along arterial streets, including portions of the downtown dispersal streets and Wolflin Avenue from Civic Circle to Washington Street. Amarillo Municipal Code requires tree branches to be at least 14.5 feet above the street. Trees that do not meet this requirement may be trimmed by the City’s contractor at no cost to the property owner. Officials noted that contractor trimming is performed to meet ordinance requirements and may not reflect your preferred appearance.
