Origin

(December 1, 2021) Report from The Acting 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 343 Runnymede Road. The application indicates the reason for removal is due to concerns that the tree roots are lifting driveway pavers and the tree is growing too large for its location.  

 

The subject tree is a honey locust (Gleditsia triacathos) measuring 41 cm in diameter. The Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable.
