Additional tree removal along N 200th as part of Aurora project

The contractor for the final phase of the Aurora Corridor project, Gary Merlino Construction Co., has identified 35 more trees that will need to be removed along N 200th Street east of Aurora. The trees are located on the slope between Costco and the sidewalk. Removal of the trees is necessary in order construct the structural sidewalk that will replace the current sidewalk.

As part of the final phase of the Aurora Corridor project, crews will plant 238 trees. This is well above the 124 required by the City's replacement ratio and in addition to the 900 trees previously planted on the other phases of the Aurora Corridor Project.
