Tree trimming — A crew from Willmar Public Works close Lakeland Avenue Southeast to southbound Tuesday as works trim trees and remove branches. Sean Christensen, Willmar city engineer, said one of the trees on Lakeland Drive had Dutch elm disease and had to be removed. Others were pushing up sidewalks. Some of the trees were trimmed to address visibility issues. All the work could be described as maintenance, Christensen said. (GARY MILLER | TRIBUNE)
