To learn which neighborhood trees will be removed in coming months, Evanston residents can consult a list released Friday by the city.
The citys Forestry Division has compiled the list of trees to be removed. A majority of the trees on the list are ash trees, which are infested with the Emerald ash borer to varying degrees, and are located on parkways and in parks citywide.
Forestry staff has prioritized the condition of all the trees on the list and will be removing the ones in the worst condition first.
Officials say the list is constantly changing as staff removes trees and marks new ones for removal on a daily basis.
Staff will re-issue an updated list monthly and post it at http://www.cityofevanston.org/forestry so residents can keep track of any additional trees to be removed in their wards.
The Forestry Division also has a backlog of more than 600 stumps citywide; all from trees removed in the second half of last year or earlier this year, officials said in a release.
It will probably take until mid to late summer to remove all of these stumps. The city will contract out some of the stump removals this spring. After the stumps are ground up, a separate Forestry crew follows up, usually a few days later, to remove the grindings and restore the parkway with new soil and grass seed.
As for replanting new trees, the wait between a tree removal and the planting of a new tree is approximately two years. This is directly due to the removal of far more trees than staff can plant on an annual basis. This has been the case since 2011, so the planting list continues to grow each year.

Evanston releases tree removal list
Chester County residents are angry over a proposed ordinance to require them to pay for tree removal for the airport.
"I'm happy with the ones that I have. I don't plan on cutting anymore," said Scott Williams. He'stalking about the beautiful towering trees on his Valley Township property. There were 16 when he first bought the house but recently he had five aging ones too close to his house cut down.
"Tree removal is expensive," said Williams whopaid $5,000 thousand dollars to get rid of five trees, and that's not including what it would've cost had he wanted the wood hauled away. So to now hearthat the township may have to pass an ordinance requiring homeowners to pay to have other tall trees removed, "I don't like it," said Williams.
The reason for the ordinance is the G.O. Carlson Airport owned by the Chester County Airport Authority. A manager there tells FOX 29that the PennDot Bureau of Aviation told them its airport zoning map needed to be updated for about eight townships in the county. The purpose is to get rid of or trim obstructions like trees that could be in the way of planes.
"If the airport wants to do it, the airport should pay for it or they should pay half of it," Homeowner Kenny Melvin said.
But Valley Township Supervisors say the ordinance they are being told by PennDot BOA and the Bureau of Aviation that they have to enact, puts the cost on the residents. And puts them ina tough position.
Valley Township Supervisor Arlin Yoder said, "We're not opposed to airport safety. You don't want airplanes hitting trees. However the cost and putting the burden of the cost on the homeowner is an issue."
Williams says the cost is the biggest concern but losing trees takes away from the very reason he chose to call Valley Township home.
He said, "They do provide shade and this is the country. I don't live in Coatesville because I do like the country and the trees."
The issue is on the agenda next Tuesday April 16th at the Valley Township meeting.

Airport Wants Chester Co. Residents To Pay For Tree Removal
There are some trees that the city believes some efforts should be made to preserve. We dont outright prohibit the removal of those trees, but we feel that their removal should not be indiscriminate. Steve Jones, Lakeway city manager
State Rep. Paul Workmans bill that would allow a property owner to remove a tree based on potential fire risk without a notice or permit has some city leaders sharpening their axes.
Under HB 1858, which is in the Business and Industry committee, Texas municipalities and counties would not be able to enact or enforce laws that prohibit a property owner from removing a tree or brush that the owner believes to pose a fire risk to a structure on his property or on adjacent property. This would also block cities from requiring permits or notices before the tree or vegetation is removed.
Workman, District 47, said the loss of hundreds of homes in Central Texas in the 2011 Labor Day wildfires prompted him to file the bill.
According to Texas A&M Forest Service statistics for the 2011 fire season, 31,453 fires consumed more than 4 million acres and destroyed 2,947 homes and 2,804 other structures in Texas.
This bill is about fire protection, he said Friday. It is about enabling a homeowner to protect their home when they believe a tree is posing a fire hazard.
Taking Lakeway, Austin and San Antonio concerns into account, the revised bill exempts hardwood trees that are larger than 8 inches in diameter. Cedar and mesquite trees of any size would be subject to removal. Projects in the development stage would have to be constructed under normal development rules, Workman said.
Before the bill was amended, Lakeway City Manager Steve Jones had reservations about the proposed legislation that would have pre-empted the citys tree protection and oak wilt pruning ordinance.
There are some trees that the city believes some efforts should be made to preserve, Jones said. They are of a size or an age that is worth protecting. We dont outright prohibit the removal of those trees, but we feel that their removal should not be indiscriminate. We work with developers and homeowners; if there is a reason they must be removed, we are flexible as we can be on that.
Lakeways ordinance protects most trees that are 16 inches in diameter and larger. Property owners are prohibited from cutting down, destroying, removing any protected tree in the city without a tree removal permit.

FITCHBURG -- A public hearing will be held Wednesday evening for residents to voice their opinions and concerns over Unitil's plan to remove and trim several trees along the scenic Mt. Elam Road.
The joint hearing with Tree Warden John Blanchard will be held during the Planning Board's regularly scheduled meeting at 6 p.m. at the municipal offices at Putnam Place, 166 Boulder Drive.
Principal Planner Michael O'Hara said the hearing is necessary due to Mt. Elam Road being a scenic road -- a title it has held since the 1970s -- and the fact that many of the trees Unitil wishes to remove are also categorized as public shade trees.
He said there are about 30 trees that Unitil wants to remove completely and about another 1,000 the utility wishes to trim branches from that could be hazardous because they are hanging over wires.
Unitil spokesman Alec O'Meara said the plans for tree removal and trimming are part of the utility's hazardous tree removal program, but many that are being sought for removal are not within the standard vegetation management trim zones the company does on a day-to-day basis. Many, he said, have signs of decay, fungus and other qualities that make them likely to fall down and potentially hit power lines.
"The goal for tree trimming is to make the system more reliable when we have weather events occur, like a big thunderstorm in the middle of summer, or a snowstorm that's going to drop a foot of snow in season," O'Meara said.
He said Unitil and its system arborist, Sara Sankowich, are working closely with homeowners to both appease their concerns and ensure system reliability. O'Meara said Sankowich is also working closely with Blanchard and she should be at the public hearing.
"I feel our system arborist is very good at explaining to folks the work we're doing is helping to keep folks' lights on," he said.
O'Hara said that Conservation Commission member Michael Donnelly, who lives on Mt. Elam Road, wants to have the trees that are taken down replaced. Donnelly has said previously that he is prepared to make a proposal on behalf of the Conservation Commission that may help to mitigate some of the tree removals.

Public hearing to address tree removal on scenic Fitchburg road
PRINCETON A section of Route 206 between Ewing Street and Herrontown Road is scheduled to be closed for tree removal and pruning all next week.
The joint operation between Princeton and PSE&G is meant to prevent tree branches from interfering with power lines. It will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m, Monday through Friday, municipal arborist Greg ONeil said.
Over the past three years weve had multiple long-term power outages and disruptions of services along that part of 206, ONeil said.
About 28 trees will be removed, ONeil said.
The section of Route 206 that will close is one and a quarter miles long. Detours will direct both northbound and southbound traffic onto Mt. Lucas Road. Delays should be expected.
Tractor-trailer trucks will be held at both ends of the construction area and allowed to progress along Route 206 intermittently.
