Tree Work Could Cause Traffic Delays On Canton Street

ROSWELL, GA -- Motorist who rely on Canton Street in downtown Roswell can expect some disruption in normal traffic flow during the week of June 19-23, as the trees that line the road and in the Heart of Roswell Park will receive some much-needed attention and pruning.

This work is an initiative of The Historic Roswell Beautification Project, a community-driven nonprofit organization dedicated to creating, maintaining, and preserving the beauty and charm of Roswell's historic district.

During the week of June 19, Caldwell Tree Care will begin pruning and raising the canopies of the trees, which will require one lane of traffic to be closed. In addition, driveways may need to be blocked for very short periods of time, as workers move from tree to tree.

The Roswell Department of Transportation will place signage at each end of Canton Street to alert the public of possible delays and will assist in traffic flow throughout the duration of the project. This work is being scheduled to minimally impact businesses, their patrons, and citizens. Work will be scheduled for early morning, from 9 to 11 a.m.

At 11 a.m., crews will move to the Heart of Roswell Park and work there until after the peak lunch traffic. They will then move back to Canton Street at 2 p.m. and cease work at 4 p.m. to accommodate evening commuters. Caldwell Tree Care and RDOT will work to get this important project completed quickly, weather permitting, and with as little disruption as possible.
