SANDPOINT — Twenty trees at Travers Park officially came down Friday morning as crews worked to remove the trees and chip them.
The downing of the trees marks one of the first steps in the construction of the new James E. Russell Sports Complex, which is expected to house four tennis and 16 pickleball courts for the public.
“Things have been going pretty well here today,” said one of the workers from Northwest Tree Care LLC, who was hired for the project. “It’s sad seeing people unhappy. We’re just out here doing our jobs and we don’t want anybody to be upset or unhappy about us doing what we were hired to do.”
