The planting of 52 palm trees along Fairfax Avenue sidewalks has been postponed for at least two months after gas and electrical lines were discovered beneath the surface.
Removal of the existing trees revealed the problem, according to officials of the Vitalize Fairfax Project.
They said the lines, some of which date back to 1928, will have to be rerouted for the planting to proceed. The complication may add as much as $20,000 to the cost of the $97,622 job.
