The replacement tree will be of a variety that will not cause the same problems that we have incurred since 2000 when we spent $2500.00 on a side sewer repair and are know faced with $4000.00 for a new driveway. All of the trees planted along the 5th Avenue corridor will need to be replaced in time to allow folks in wheelchairs to access the sidewalks just of those of us who are still able to walk single file on the existing sidewalks.

Sightlines, limbs falling, pavement bucklin, sidewalks needed, blah, blah,blah. If that's the case, why do we have ANY street trees? The fact is they'd rather not have any of those annoying trees interfering with roads if truth be known.Janet Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963938962898188967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002316433701252522.post-13542627988821398062010-05-13T18:46:48.767-07:002010-05-13T18:46:48.767-07:00What was the City's explanation for this degra...What was the City's explanation for this degradation to our environment (not to mention the use of taxpayer's dollars...)?<br /><br />GregAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4002316433701252522.post-35433444087546372992010-05-13T10:15:03.161-07:002010-05-13T10:15:03.161-07:00Agreed!

It seems wrong that trees that have existed for many years can be cut with no notice to the public.<br /><br />You can't go out and shoot birds and squirrels in Shoreline; why should you be able to cut down trees with no public involvement or review?Steve Zemkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07601513227032274985noreply@blogger.com
