A tree trimming project scheduled for February 1, 2023, will result in the closure of a section of Naches Avenue in Yakima from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The affected area spans between Walnut Street and Chestnut Avenue, and city officials are working to ensure that access to homes and businesses remains as uninterrupted as possible during this period. This project is a critical part of Yakima's ongoing urban maintenance and infrastructure improvement initiatives, aimed at ensuring the safety and aesthetics of public spaces. Residents are advised to plan alternative routes to avoid traffic disruptions and delays. The city’s proactive approach to tree maintenance not only improves the urban landscape but also mitigates potential hazards associated with overgrown trees.

This initiative underscores Yakima's commitment to community engagement and public safety. As such, the city encourages residents to stay informed about local projects through their official channels. By prioritizing infrastructure upkeep, Yakima aims to foster a safer and more pleasant environment for all its residents.
