About

The Shade Tree Commission oversees all trees planted in public areas of Allentown. Homeowners are responsible for taking care of the shade trees between the curb and the sidewalk. The Commission holds meetings every first Tuesday of the month at 8:30 AM in the Bridgeworks Building, Public Works Department, located at 641 S. 10th Street, Allentown. These meetings are open to the public. If you plan to attend a meeting, call 610-437-7589 ahead of time to share your concerns, so we can assist you better during the meeting.
