7A UP A TREE THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2015 Plans call for cutting 70 highway alders by spring adding that the department doesn’t yet know whether it will contract out the labor.

Highway officials plan to remove 200 dead and dying trees. An estimated 5,000 trees line the corridor. ERICK BENGEL — EO Media Group A blue dot is displayed on twin alder trees on the west side of U.S. Highway 101 near the Sunset Boulevard entrance. ODOT has marked about 200 trees for possible removal from along the highway; the removal will be done in three phases, beginning before March 15 and ending in 2017. sy to the city to let them know what our plan is.” 2'27 QHHGV WR ¿QLVK WKH ¿UVWSKDVHE\ODWHZLQWHUWRJHW ahead of the nesting period for migratory birds that begins April 1. That’s a rule every ODOT project has to abide by — oth- erwise, the department must hire a biologist to see if there’s any nesting material in the trees, and that can be expensive, Jablonski said. The city will “provide appro- priate notice” to Cannon Beach residents when the time comes, Grassick said. A political issue When ODOT came before the council last year, “We were very opposed to just the whole- sale removal of those alders,” Morgan said. He noted that during the wind and rain storms of early February no trees or branches had fallen onto the highway. “The proof is in the pudding. If the trees aren’t causing a prob- lem, they don’t need to be cut,” he said. “I think it’s a solution in search of a problem.” Residents who live near the highway tend to view those trees as a “visual and noise buffer,” he said. Shawn LaMunyon and his wife, Sarah McAllister, who own a double lot east of the highway, are two such residents. Asked what he thinks of ODOT’s proposal, LaMunyon VDLG ÀDWO\ ³, GRQ¶W ZDQW LW WR happen.” Though he understands that some thinning may be necessary to improve highway safety, he feels the 200-tree project is too large. Morgan said Cannon Beach citizens “could and should” contact state Rep. Deborah Boone, D-Cannon Beach, and state Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose, and “make it a political issue.” CL ASSIF IE D M ARK ETPL A CE P lace classified ad s o n lin e at w w w .d ailyasto rian .co m o r call 503-325-3211 CL ASSIF IE D IN DEX ANNOUNCEMENTS 055 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
