Tree maintenance to impact parking along South Front Street in downtown Wilmington

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Drivers in downtown Wilmington may notice temporary parking restrictions next week as city crews perform tree maintenance along South Front Street.

The City of Wilmington says crews will remove dead branches from trees along the 00 and 100 blocks of South Front Street, between Market and Orange streets.

The work is intended to extend the life of the trees while improving sidewalk safety for pedestrians.

Maintenance is scheduled for November 16th through November 19th, from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. each day.

Crews will work on one side of the street at a time, beginning on the west side near Unleashed.

Parking spaces will be temporarily blocked off in areas where crews are actively working.

The city is asking drivers and pedestrians to give crews space while the maintenance is underway.
