The University requested that date, and it was Council action to close the streets to accommodate them. "We are traffic control and closing the streets down," City Manager Charles Duggan said. "I have the authority to adjust the hours. We really don't think it'll take five hours. We are just being safe and telling people what to plan for." The City hopes to be done before lunch.

Once they are both down they will be loaded onto a truck, and they will be transported to a vendor who is going to make commemorative items out of it.' The roots will remain until the corner renovation is complete.
