TopicBeautification Fundraiser
Content 10-10-07 Just a thought: I recently purchased a wonderful 1896 home and noticed 2 dead trees at the east end of the block. Their branches were cut off and the trees had hollowed out spots just barely clinging to life.They are a termite danger to the other homes on the block and a neighborhood eyesore. Then I noticed that these kinds of semi-living and dead trees abound all over the city. It really makes these areas look run down. So... Since these trees are in the easement between the sidewalk and the street and the owner has to mow and maintain the easement, the city should offer their services to come and chop down these trees for a fee. This fee can be used to defray costs as well as buy and plant new trees to beautiful the neighborhoods. What citizen wouldn't want a discount tree removal and planting if the city can get wholesale pricing? ...Thus a beautification fundraiser. jms
