Tree Committee:
Please help save the mature trees at 1422 Monterey St.. While the City of San Luis Obispo claims to
fight Climate Change they have allowed the removal of mature trees all over town in exchange for
huge, ugly buildings. They allow developers to plant tiny replacement trees which will not sequester
nearly the carbon that the large mature trees would for many, many years. The City is quickly
allowing the destruction of our precious Urban Canopy while merely paying lip-service to the critical
issue of Climate Change.
Why not incorporate the mature trees into the project's design? Are architects using computer-design
instead of their brains & skills? This needs to be stopped for the sake of our community & our planet.
I went to a Physical Therapist 3 times a week for a few years & parked at the Palm St. upper portion
of this site & it was amazing to see the beautiful trees every time I visited, especially the Redwoods &
the wonderful avian habitat they provided.
Please help preserve these beneficial, wonderous 54 trees by denying the removal of the trees.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Cheryl McLean
San Luis Obispo
