Board approves short-term closure of South 7th Street for crane tree removal
Summary
The board unanimously approved a temporary closure of South 7th Street to allow MyTreeClimber to park a crane and remove a large tree on May 11; the company said work would begin about 8:00 a.m. after school traffic subsided.
Jonathan Corbin, representing MyTreeClimber, asked the board to approve a temporary street closure to park a large crane needed to remove a large tree. Corbin said crews plan to start at about 8:00 a.m. after buses and school traffic have subsided and anticipated completing much of the work before afternoon school dismissal.
Board members asked logistics questions; staff confirmed barricades would be available from the street department. The board moved and unanimously approved the closure of South 7th Street for the operation on May 11.
The transcript records the closure location as "South 7th Street between 116 and 118 7th Street" and includes some garbled time text; those address and time fragments in the record are unclear and are noted as such in the city's file. The board referenced the assistant street commissioner (Sean) as the point of contact for barricades.
