There are important other advantages of undergrounding.<br /><br />This may seem to be an expensive alternative, but only if we keep on undervaluing trees and the great range of functions they perform.elainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002316433701252522.post-12723109773791954332011-08-30T11:12:55.419-07:002011-08-30T11:12:55.419-07:00Great points Anonymous!

A lot more than 2 trees per year have been cut earlier this summer - WITH City's blessings via a permit.<br /><br />As Councilmember McConnell stated publicly at the Briarcrest Candidates' Forum last week: Shoreline "reeks of sustainability." "Environmental Sustainability" was taken off of our city's Council Goals under McConnell's watch.

Everyone who attended this meeting should pay very close attention to how the vote this fall. The current council has, at best, a hands-off record. Perhaps they should reconsider while some trees are still standing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
