Why is there a dot painted on the tree on my street?

Around the time the annual tree removal project goes out to bid, a dot is painted on trees that are to be removed. This allows potential bidders (and eventually the successful contractor) to know which trees are to be removed.  For more information, visit the Streets Division's Tree Maintenance page.
