For almost a year, the City of Turlock has been tackling the issue of the many broken sidewalks and overgrown and diseased trees that have become hazards for Turlock's residents. The Street Tree and Sidewalk ad hoc committee finished its work on Tuesday, by presenting a revised Street Tree Theme and Map that addresses some of the issues that arise with different tree varieties. This revised list of approved street trees comes after the City Council adopted a new ordinance in December that requires notification of property owners' maintenance obligations related to street trees and sidewalk areas with every sale or transfer of property.
