Document Description
Caltrans proposes removing hazardous trees and related debris along SR-82 from post mile 12.3 to 15.8. An arborist report identified six trees as having basal rot, disease, and root damage that contribute to the likelihood of failure. The trees are located within a residential neighborhood that includes sidewalks, public parking, bus stops, and storefronts. The arborist recommends removal of all six trees due to their likelihood of failure and the severe consequences associated with their proximity to homes and public-use areas. Work will require temporary traffic control, removal of the trees, stump treatment, arborist services, and biologist services.
