Block Pruning Begins On South Third Street Monday
Expect minor traffic delays starting Monday on 3rd street between 7:30 am to 5 pm as Missoula Parks and Recreation’s Urban Forestry Division begin pruning trees. The project includes 137 trees between Higgins and Russell Streets. The pruning helps to improve the trees over-all health, helps reduce the cost of maintenance and will help eliminate any hazards. 25 dead or dying trees on 3rd street will also be removed beginning Monday. Adjacent property owners have been offered a replacement tree that will be planted in spring of 2012.
