A contractor for the City of Dover will remove several ailing and damaged trees on city property adjacent to the Dover Public Library on Wednesday, June 4. The work is being done as a safety precaution to remove trees in declining health and is expected to be completed in one day.

Tree removal will take place at the front corner of the lot near the library building, and within the fenced area along the parking lot property line. The work will begin between 8 and 8:30 a.m.

To allow for staging and safe operation of equipment, parking spots to the left of the Soldiers and Sailors monument in front of the library will be temporarily blocked off. Additionally, the first three on-street parking spaces on Locust Street, near the work area, will be restricted during the removal.
