Workers cut and toss away overgrown branches from the lakefront. Crews are removing small trees from about one mile of shoreline between the Clark Street and Lee Street beaches.

The trees are cut for aesthetics and to keep roots from damaging shore boulders, said crew leader Adam Theis. “You’ll see the lake again from park benches,” he said. The work is supposed to be done yearly but has been delayed by the pandemic and high lake levels. (Photo by Richard Cahan)
