Dead tree on East Plaza will be removed

*
What*: Removal of a dead tree.

*Where*: East Campus Plaza, northwest of Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Building.

*When*: Thursday, Aug. 29, 8 a.m - 2 p.m.

*Impacts*: Noise from chainsaw, chipper, compact loader.

The tree stands atop the Plaza Parking Garage. Because the garage roof can't bear heavy vehicles, the contractor will transport the trunk, limbs, and branches in a compact loader to a staging area west of the Korean War Memorial. There, the crew will chip the branches and limbs and load the trunk for disposal.

To divert pedestrians, the contractor will secure the work zone with cones, signs, and barricades at all walkways.
