Street-tree inventory: Sammamish updates city-managed tree data and issues planting and code recommendations
Summary
A consultant inventory covered 1,525 trees in Sammamish maintenance zones and produced maintenance guidance, a GIS update that staff integrated into the city’s asset system, and regulatory recommendations to inform future code and public-works standards updates.
The Sammamish City Council received a right-of-way tree study Feb. 11 that inventoryed street trees in city-maintained corridors, offered short- and mid-term maintenance recommendations, and proposed regulatory clarifications for future code and public-works standard updates.
The consultant Facet surveyed 1,525 trees across the city’s 19 public-works maintenance zones and reported that roughly 1,100 of those are maintained by the city; the majority were characterized as in good health. “The majority of the trees examined are in good health,” Facet’s report said, and city staff have integrated the updated dataset into CityWorks, the municipal asset-management system.
