The village shall have the right to plant, trim, spray, preserve and remove trees, plants and shrubs within the lines of all streets, alleys, avenues, lanes, squares, and public grounds, as may be necessary to insure safety or to preserve the symmetry and beauty of such public grounds. The Village Manager may remove or cause or order to be removed, any tree or part thereof that is in an unsafe condition or that is a prohibited species, such as poplar, willow, box elder, walnut, mulberry or catalpa, or is affected with any injurious disease, fungus, insect or other pest. Whenever the village shall remove any tree, plant or shrub, solely for the purpose of constructing any public work, the Village Manager shall if practicable, replace the same at public expense, at some nearby location by planting another tree, plant or shrub, not necessarily of the same type.
