Street tree pruning scheduled Friday along North Taylor Street

The Town of Wake Forest will close a portion of North Taylor Street between East Perry Avenue and Foxbridge Court Friday, June 9, from 8 a.m.-noon.

The temporary closure is necessary to allow tree crews to safely prune street trees to ensure adequate street, sidewalk, and driveway clearance.

Signs, cones, and flaggers will be in place directing traffic around the designated work areas. Motorists and pedestrians are encouraged to avoid the area. For more information, email Urban Forestry Coordinator Luke Devores at [email protected].

The Town of Wake Forest offers an interactive map that gives residents a user-friendly and convenient way to view local road closures and restrictions. Available at https://bit.ly/WFTrafficMap, the Traffic Alerts Map allows visitors to point and click on current road and lane closures throughout Wake Forest. Motorists are encouraged to use the information to help plan their route and move safely through work areas.
