Street trees to be removed and replaced on N 200th

According to Rosalie Wu, Project Manager, the Aurora Corridor Improvements Project (N 192nd to N 205th) will remove 18 street trees on N 200th Street east of Aurora. This work is expected to begin after February 16, 2015. This is necessary for sidewalk and street improvements including new pavement, sidewalks, undergrounding of aerial utilities and replacement trees.

 

The street trees will be replaced at a ratio of 2:1on N 200th Street in the same area. The south side of N 200th will have Rocky Mountain Glow Maples and the north side will have Scarlet Sentinel Maples. Replacement will not occur until the work is complete on N 200th, anticipated in the fall of this year. These trees are included in the 238 trees that are part of this project, in addition to the 900 trees previously planted on the entire Aurora Corridor Project.
