A. The Village shall have the right to plant, prune, maintain and remove trees, plants and shrubs within the parkways of all streets, alleys, avenues, lanes, squares and public grounds, as may be necessary to insure public safety or to preserve or enhance the symmetry and beauty of such public grounds. However, such parkway shall be maintained by the adjacent property owner unless an agreement for maintenance has been reached with the Village.
B. The Village Forester may remove or have removed any tree or part thereof which is in an unsafe condition or which by reason of its nature is injurious to sewers, electric power lines, gas lines, water lines, or other public improvements, or is affected with any injurious fungus, insect or other pest. This Section does not prohibit the planting of street trees by adjacent property owners, providing that the selection and location of said trees is in accordance with the official street tree species list.
