Many trees have or will be removed as part of the Waldo Boulevard construction project. Manitowoc Mayor Justin Nickels says to concerned citizens “I feel your pain” but adds they need to come down for several reasons.
Which Nickels says is a constant problem in older portions of the city. He says there are plans to replant those trees.
The exact process is not known as this is a state project, but the Mayor believes it’ll be on a one for one basis. Phase one of the project is well underway with phase two from North 14th Street to Rapids Road (County R) to be completed next year.
