Some cleanup from the May 21 derecho storm that battered Ottawa will not begin until next spring, the city says. ottnews
In a memo Wednesday, Public Works General Manger Alain Gonthier said this includes work to remove more than 2,000 intact tree stumps.
The storm on May 21 caused severe damage to Ottawa’s electrical grid and damaged countless trees across the city. Gonthier says the public works department is also planning the removal of more than 450 large uprooted tree stumps, which is expected to begin this fall. “The Trees in Trust program for fall 2022 is now full, however any requests received will be added to next years’ planting program. Staff are looking into other options to expand tree plantings in 2023, including partnership opportunities and supports for planting on private property,” Gonthier said.The city has handed out the equivalent of more than 28,000 standard garden mulch bags worth of wood chips from downed trees.
There is no per-person limit and chips will be available while quantities last. Residents should bring a shovel and containers for loading the chips, and wear work gloves and appropriate footwear.NOISE BARRIERS AND FENCES DAMAGED
