BOULDER — Willow Ridge Townhouse homeowners awoke Tuesday morning to the buzz of a city contractor’s chainsaw felling giant, mature trees that line the property.
The problem: The contractor wasn’t supposed to cut them down.
Boulder officials acknowledged Wednesday that at least eight trees were improperly removed from the city-owned open space between Foothills Parkway and Harrison Court in east Boulder, leaving nearby residents shocked and angry about the mistake.
“I’m not sure how it happened, but obviously, there was a miscommunication,” said Jody Jacobson, a city spokeswoman. “We definitely regret the mistake — and it was a mistake.”
