O&R makes amends

Orange & Rockland plans to visit Blauvelt homeowner Maureen O’Neill today, but this time the visit will be welcome.
O’Neill was one of many residents who protested when O&R cut down trees in her backyard as part of a tree removal program meant to prevent power outages. Residents complained that more trees were cut that necessary and that O&R’s hired crews left a mess of stumps and debris behind.
O&R reached out to O’Neill after hearing her concerns and agreed to replace the lost trees with what they call compatible species, which are basically trees that won’t grow too high. An O&R arborist will visit O’Neill today and walk though the backyard to go over the plans for replanting.
“Fair is fair,” O’Neill said yesterday. “They’re trying to do the right thing.”
