Kingston, N.Y. – City of Kingston posted on Facebook. As a part of a major storm sewer repair and improvement project on Pine Grove Avenue, the sidewalk and two medians between Broadway and Susan Street will be excavated to reach the sewer system below. The upgrade involves storm sewer pipeline replacement and lining of existing drainage pipes along four streets, and will relieve flooding in the area and on Broadway under the CSX overpass. The work will require 25 trees to be removed, four of which are young enough to be saved and replanted elsewhere. After the sewer work is completed, the stretch of median will be "adopted" by Scott Dutton at the Fuller Building and the YMCA for landscape design and replanting.

This chapter shall be known as the "Municipal Street Tree Ordinance of the City of Kingston."
§ 373-2
Legislative finding of fact.
A.
It is hereby found and declared that the City of Kingston, New York, is especially situated in an area covered with a wide variety of trees and shrubs that are a particularly vital part of the heritage passed on to us by nature and our forefathers considering the city's original Dutch name of "Wiltwyck," meaning wild woods.
B.
Trees provide a vital ecological resource for the well-being of the community and therefore require preservation efforts. Trees stabilize the soil on slopes thereby preventing siltation, erosion and flooding; they control water pollution; they purify the air and generate oxygen; they mitigate noise; their shade reduces energy consumption; they provide habitat and food for birds and animals; and their colorful seasonal characteristics enrich our total environment.
C.
Trees are economically beneficial in attracting new industry, residents and visitors. Healthy trees of the right size and species enhance the value and marketability of property and promote the stability of neighborhoods.
§ 373-3
Purpose.
Indiscriminate and uncontrolled destruction of trees deprives the community of these benefits. The purpose of this chapter is to preserve trees, minimize damage and removal and encourage planting of trees, thereby enhancing the health, safety and general welfare of the inhabitants of the City of Kingston. This chapter is an amplification of the City Charter Tree Protection Ordinance, as defined in the Charter of the City of Kingston under the title "Trees and Plantings."
