Notice to the Public<BR><BR> <BR><BR>The City of Ely Parks and Recreation Department have deemed it necessary to remove four trees in Whiteside Park. These trees have been marked for removal. They are located near the pavilion and bathroom buildings and along 8th avenue east. Due to their condition, falling branches have become a safety concern. It is the intent of the Park and Recreation Committee to develop a plan for future replacement of trees in Whiteside Park. These trees will be removed in the next two weeks.
