Public works reports 16,000 tulip bulbs, 10,000 daffodils planted; crews cleared slides and removed dead trees
Summary
Public works staff reported planting roughly 16,000 tulips and 10,000 daffodils across parks, planting five maples, responding to a rock slide, and removing four dead trees after recent storms. Staff also described extra street sweeping and sandbag availability.
Nick, providing the public-works report, said crews planted a substantial number of bulbs and trees over the past two months as part of routine winter maintenance: "You can imagine how the crew felt when we showed up with 16,000 bulbs... All the bulbs were planted within a 5 week time frame." He listed sites where tulips and daffodils were planted and said five maple trees were installed in Bellevue and Selborne.
Nick also recounted storm-response work: staff cleared a rock slide at Paul Amaraga that required multiple truckloads, removed four trees that were dead or dying, performed extra street sweeping and catch-basin clearance during heavy leaf fall, and noted sandbags remain available at the yard for residents in flood-prone areas.
