Beginning June 24, the responsibility will now shift to property owners to maintain their street trees and sidewalks.  In addition, property owners will be responsible for damages caused by improper tree maintenance.

To view the new Street Tree Guidelines and Sidewalk Repair Guidelines, go to Fremont.gov/Maintenance.  Or call the city maintenance at 979-5700
