UPDATE!
Thanks for your interest in the reconstruction of East Avenue scheduled for 2024. We will be looking for every opportunity to plant trees on public property as part of this project, especially in boulevard spaces where trees may be removed. City Council passed a tree canopy coverage target in 2022 that is 30% coverage in each Ward by 2050, and 33% across the city by 2070. Ward 10, which contains the project area, has canopy coverage of approximately 26%, so we certainly want to replace canopy lost through the project and enhance it, where possible.
The Forestry department will develop a planting plan later in the project planning phase, likely this fall or winter.
