To earn Tree Cities of the World recognition, Renton demonstrated its commitment to a healthy urban forest by meeting five program standards. In addition, Renton has again been recognized as a “Tree City USA” for the 15th year. • Parks and Recreation’s Urban Forestry division will be performing remedial tree work on cottonwoods in Liberty Park next to the Cedar River on April 4 through April 7. After the recent failure of a large cottonwood in the same location late last year and subsequent inspections, trimming work is needed to help better balance the crowns and stabilize the remaining trees. No path, park, or roadway closures are necessary. • In partnership with several agencies serving the Renton community, the Renton Library, located at 100 Mill Avenue, will be hosting Resource Days on Friday, April 7 and Friday, May 12 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This event will offer help in obtaining a phone; getting access to free meals, clothing, hygiene kits, haircuts, and identification; and connecting with community agencies. • Information about preventative street maintenance, traffic impact projects, road closures, and I-405 work happening this week can be found at http://rentonwa.gov/traffic.
