Laval city council has voted to pay Urbex Construction<\/a> $276,405 to replace doomed ash trees on city property.<\/p>\n

The ash trees are expected to fall victim this summer to an invasive insect, the Emerald Ash Borer.<\/p>\n

Urbex will start planting in mid-August, in the hope of avoiding the worst of the sweltering summer heat.<\/p>\n

Council invested the funds to restore the tree canopy that provides a natural form of air conditioning that prevents developed areas of the city from developing heat sinks.<\/p>\n

The contract calls for Urbex to\u00a0plant 487 large trees at least 50 mm in diameter, as well as another 150 potted trees at least 200 mm tall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

No ash trees will be felled until after Oct. 1, once the Emerald Ash Borers begin to die off as winter temperatures approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe intend to replace the [ash] trees with more than 50 different species, in order to promote biodiversity, in order to prevent a recurrence of pest problems caused by insects and disease,\u201d city spokeswoman Val\u00e9rie Sauv\u00e9 told The Suburban.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIdeally, we aim to ensure that no one species exceeds 10 percent of the whole [canopy replacement project],\u201d she said in an electronic mail reply to the newspaper\u2019s queries.<\/p>\n
