Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist, Council Members Jeff Russell, Tony Dolce, Brent Sheldon, Kim Ecklund, Parks Manager Dan Stone, City Council member Marie Carrubba, Acting DPW Director Mark Roetzer, City Council member Randy Daversa, and Jamestown Citizen at the Third Street Tree Planting (May 13, 2023)<\/p><\/div>\n

Several dozen people showed up Saturday to help plant the 37 trees that now line the block of West Third Street<\/strong> where the former Cathedral Oak trees<\/strong> stood.<\/p>\n

The “Re-Tree-Ing” event held by the Jamestown Parks Department<\/strong> was part of the annual Arbor Day<\/strong> celebration and designation of Jamestown as a Tree City USA<\/strong> for a 42nd year.<\/p>\n

Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist<\/strong> said it was unfortunate to have to remove the 100 year old oak trees back at the end of 2020, “That due to various issues of disease in the root systems, we started seeing trees fall down on properties. It was a very tough decision for the city. Since that time, we’ve been working with the community to redesign West Third Street and make it more of a gateway into the downtown core. And so we’ve been doing just that.”<\/p>\n

The redesign project involved the replacement of sidewalks, driveway aprons, new candlestick lighting, and the planting of new trees on West Third Street between Hall and Hallock Streets.<\/p>\n

It was funded using $500,000 in American Rescue Plan<\/strong> monies.<\/p>\n

Parks Manager and Arborist Dan Stone<\/strong> thanked the many people involved over the years in parks and with the forestry program. He gave special recognition to Chautauqua Art Gallery<\/strong> owner Leslie Calimeri<\/strong> for putting together the Third Street Oak Trees Art Show, “It involved a bunch of other local artists and photographers in the city and throughout the area. With her project, most of these donations, the work that they did and what they sold it for, most of those people did not take money for it. They donated 100% back, or at least a good portion back, of what they had done.”<\/p>\n
