Arrondissement de Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles
A citizen must cut down a dead tree on his property. He maintains that the tree’s death was caused by public works carried out about 10 years prior. During our inquiry, the tree is cut down by a private company : the citizen pays $1,609.65.
Our inquiry confirms that several roots of the tree were probably damaged in 2006, during City work conducted on nearby underground pipes. This type of tree is of “slow decline.” The Borough accepts our conclusion and reimburses the citizen the $1,609.65 fees.
