Here’s the description:
MEETING PLACE: The Corner of Broad Street and Ridgewood Avenue.
Date: June 11
Time: 9:30
Join us to learn more about the planned refurbishment/re-treeing of the tree wells in the central business district. 88 wells will be addressed this Fall as part of the Village’s commitment to increasing/maintaining our tree canopy. The trees will reduce the heat island effect of the downtown sidewalks during the hot summer months and create an enhanced aesthetic.

Big improvement thank you looks nice
I’ve given up on ever getting my tree installed.
It’s about time this is being done for many years does tree Wells were full of weeds.
And guess what people it’s not the store owners responsibility or the landlord. It’s the town they put those trees in, and they came up with that design for the sidewalks and the tree wells so they need to maintain it.
