A little tree news and we know this one has fans.
If you’ve spotted the tree with the big red ornament at Vernon and Towanda Avenues, you know it brings a little Charlie Brown Christmas magic each year.
This year, though, we need to say goodbye. Our arborists have determined the tree is more than 70% dead and must be removed for safety. We know losing trees is hard, especially after recent storms, so we’ll plant a new tree in its place.
And who knows? Maybe that big red ornament will find a new home! 🎄❤️

Fresh pavement on the Constitution Trail!

Check out photos of the completed asphalt overlay along the Collegiate Branch, from the south entrance of Fairview Park at Adelaide Street to Heartland Community College at Millennium Boulevard.

Whether you’re walking, biking or enjoying the outdoors, we hope you enjoy this improved stretch of trail!
