City Clearcutting Downtown

As Streetscape Works Starts

Downtown visitors may have noticed a little less shade on Main Street, with many of the trees removed as part of Oneonta's Streetscape plan. But worry not – they'll be replaced with healthier trees this spring, as well as new brick and slate planters and refurbished benches. Mayor Gary Herzig hopes the project will be done before the college graduations in May. (Ian Austin/AllOTSEGO.com)
Main Street, Oneonta, was looking a little barer today, as implementation of Oneonta’s Streetscape plan began by clearcutting trees on the north side between Dietz and Chestnut. They’ll be replaced with healthier trees this spring, as well as new brick and slate planters and refurbished benches, according to Mayor Gary Herzig.  He said he doesn’t know how many trees will be fells, but expressed hopes the project will be done before the college graduations in May.
