What it does
This bill would grant the Department of Transportation (DOT) the authority to install and maintain tree guards on city property. Tree guards are fence-like structures installed around the perimeter of a tree pit in order to provide a physical barrier between a tree and the surrounding environment so that the tree may be better protected from physical damage and other harm.
