Approved the request for a permit to remove one City-owned tree located at 77 Sixth Street as part of an interim approach to addressing female ginkgo trees in the City of Toronto, so that the City-owned female ginkgo tree will be removed and replaced by the City of Toronto in the road allowance fronting 77 Sixth Street to the satisfaction of the Executive Director, Environment, Climate, and Forestry.
On the agenda
As the city filed it
Environment, Climate and Forestry received an application to remove a City-owned female ginkgo tree (Ginkgo biloba) at 77 Sixth Street due to concerns that the tree drops fruit with a foul odour. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable. Following recent City Council direction, this report proposes an interim approach for the management of female ginkgo trees and requests that Etobicoke York Community Council approve a permit to remove one City-owned female ginkgo tree located at 77 Sixth Street on condition that a tree of alternate species be planted as a replacement.
