Community Council Recommendations

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

 

1. City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 127 Willow Avenue.

Origin

(February 11, 2020) Report from the Director, Urban Forestry, Parks, Forestry and Recreation

Summary

This report requests that City Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned tree located at 127 Willow Avenue. The application indicates the reasons for removal are that the tree drops large quantities of nuts which may be considered a tripping hazard, and that the tree may be causing walkway stones to heave. 

 

The subject tree is a black walnut (Juglans nigra), measuring 46 centimetres in diameter. The Private Tree By-law does not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
