The City crews will be trimming trees that are overhanging over the streets throughout the City of Fort Scott.

This is for school buses and the trolley to operate safely down the City streets.

Please be advised that according to City Ordinance 2527, “The City shall have the right to plant, prune, maintain and remove plants, trees and shrubs within the lines of all streets, alleys, avenues, lanes, squares and public grounds, as may be necessary to ensure the safety or to preserve the symmetry and beauty of such public grounds.”

If you have questions, call City Hall at 223-0550.
