Trees being replaced along Butler’s Main Street
Trees don’t grow overnight, but the ones on Butler’s Main Street will be gone overnight Tuesday and Wednesday.
Butler Mayor Bob Dandoy said the trees’ replacement is part of a yearslong streetscape project that also involved lighting and traffic signal replacement on Main Street. The project is being conducted in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, which paid for the traffic signal replacements on Main Street and is paying for the tree removal and replacement.
More than a dozen trees will be removed and replaced.
“We started all this several years ago with the lighting done on Main Street,” Dandoy said. “It's something a lot of people have had a lot of energy for.”
John Evans, the city’s building code official, said the removal will be over relatively quickly, but the planting of the new trees will take some time.
