Twenty-six trees are slated to be removed along El Camino Real between Southwood Drive and Orange Avenue in South San Francisco later this month for a regional groundwater storage and recovery project’s pipe installation by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
The SFPUC will install an 8-inch diameter pipe to connect regional water customers with a water supply that can be used during a drought or other emergency, according to the SFPUC.
Officials say that the trees are aging and some are in very poor health. Digging could damage the root structure and become a safety hazard. Replanting the trees will be coordinated with the city of South San Francisco, according to the SFPUC.
During tree removal and pipeline construction, the sidewalk and parking lane along southbound El Camino Real between Southwood Drive and Orange Avenue will be closed Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., officials said.
