The specialists at the Municipal Enterprise «Miskzelentrest» are continuing extensive stump removal work throughout the city.
Since the beginning of the year, over 600 stumps have been removed, including 120 in the Preobrazhensky Park and another 56 on Prince Volodymyr the Great Avenue as part of the «Barrier-Free Odessa» program.
Currently, work is ongoing on Kanatna Street, where 34 out of 51 planned stumps have been removed this week.
The Odessa City Council urges residents and visitors not to park their vehicles near the work sites to avoid hindering the machinery.
Stump removal is a complex task. Until this year, municipal workers lacked the specialized equipment, significantly complicating and prolonging the process.
With new equipment, specialists are drastically reducing the time required for physically demanding tasks through mechanization: previously, manual stump removal was normed at 12 hours, but now the entire process for a 70 cm diameter stump takes just 40 minutes.
A total of 852 stumps are planned for removal in the city center, and new young trees such as maples, ashes, acacias, sophoras, plane trees, and linden will be planted in their place.
The work is being carried out using new equipment — the Rotor Speedy 80/100 stump grinder and the KATA KF1404 tractor with a power of 140 horsepower, intended for timely and quality stump removal operations.
