Are they going to plant more trees that don't fit the climate and block the sidewalk passage? I love having trees on my streets, don't get me wrong, but the Urban Forest folks don't seem to do a very good job about it sometimes.

FUF follows city and ADA requirements when planting street trees. FUF works with homeowners to let them pick what type of tree they would like to plant but considers every space individually. why dont you come out and participate in the planting to see how it is done first hand? it is a very fun morning!
