Survey Results
Council has committed to planting at least 15,000 new community shade trees over the next 20 years and invites the community to help design this program. The community has expressed the importance of trees for beautifying streets and parks, providing summer shade, and protecting the environment. The insights shared by the community will help shape the future of our greening program, guiding decisions on tree planting, maintenance, and community engagement.
