On Thursday, December 15, the City of Norman will temporarily close the northern lane of westbound traffic on Boyd Street between Deans Row and Asp Street to allow contractors to remove a hazardous tree just west of the mid-block alley at that location. The alley will also be closed where it intersects Boyd while crews are working. The lane will close at 8:30 am and re-open by 5:00 pm.
The tree has been in decline for years; including major damage done in recent winters from the polar air masses and ice events. A new tree will be planted this winter in the area where this tree is being removed, along with a few other locations along the streets in the campus corner area. For questions, contact the Parks and Recreation Department Forestry Division.
