Good news and bad news but mark your calendars for Dec. 5 when a dangerously overgrown tree will be removed in front of 18 South Main St. In Port Deposit. The stately tree in front of The Gerry House is heaving up the sidewalk and threatening the stability of underground water and sewer lines.
The exact date is weather-dependent so Port Deposit officials ask motorists to be on the lookout for flaggers on or around Dec. 5.
Traffic will be directed around the job, which is expected to be completed in one day.
The good news is a cherry blossom tree will be landscaped nearby and the sidewalk will be repaired. Anyone interested in having the fallen tree for a special wood project should contact Travis Steffen at town call by Dec. 1. Call 410-378-2121.
