Residents Can Place Their Parkway Tree Orders For Next Spring

Geneva residents interested in a new parkway tree should place their order with the Geneva Public Works Department by Friday, Jan. 6.

Parkway trees are defined as trees within the city's right-of-way, usually located between the sidewalk/property line and curb. Through a contract with West Suburban Tree Consortium, the city is able to purchase trees at a discounted rate, according to a news release.

Residents pay $150 as part of the cost-sharing program, and the city covers the remaining cost to purchase and plant a new tree. The city's portion is more than $150.

A list of available trees can be found on the city's website along with a form that must be submitted to Public Works. There is a limited number of trees and species that can be planted each spring, so requests will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

For more information, call the Geneva Public Works Department Streets & Fleet Division at 630-232-1502.
