Tree falls over playground equipment

TREE DAMAGE in the city and elsewhere is widespread. In West Side Park, one of the trees torn apart by the storm lies over playground equipment.

A company hired to assist the city of Madison in cleaning up tree damage on city property was given clear priorities on Monday morning when local officials met to assess recovery efforts. Thursday evening’s storm left widespread damage, including damage to city property.

“Because of COVID, the pool has been down, so that park is a high priority,” Mayor Roy Lindsay said. He also asked that Memorial Park on N. Egan Avenue be considered a priority due to its high visibility.
