Downtown tree pruning set to begin

Tree pruning is set to begin in downtown Red Deer next week.

City officials say Parks aerial lift trucks (bucket trucks) will be pruning city owned trees in the downtown area between 48 and 52 Street and 47 and 51 Avenue.

Work will take place on weekdays beginning July 15, with an expected completion date of August 2.

As a result, driving lane and parking closures will be intermittent between the hours of 5:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., and will be signed accordingly.
