Trees Enhance Empire Avenue

The City of Oakley Parks and Landscape Division recently completed installing nearly 40 trees on Empire Avenue center medians between Laurel Road and Carpenter Road. "Trees really contribute to the beauty of Oakley," said Len Morrow, Parks and Landscape Division Manager. "As they mature and bloom each year it will look extra nice as you travel on Empire Avenue," Morrow noted. Parks and Landscape Foreman Jesse Dela Cruz said "Crape Myrtle and Chinese Fringe trees, all drought tolerant trees, were planted with individual bubblers to conserve water and to avoid runoff."
