Portage Streets and Sanitation Department tree limb update report

The Portage Streets and Sanitation Department gave a tree limb update report Wednesday.

Today, limb crews will remain working in Zone 2.

The crews completed 139 sizable piles.  One limb crew that was servicing zone 3 focused on the small limb piles that can be handled avoiding a large grapple truck.  They completed 89 small limb piles yesterday.

Street department work zones NOT garbage day routes and have no association with trash service.   The street zones are the same in leaf service, snow removal and limb pickup.
