Official Text

That the Executive Director of the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development (Transportation and Infrastructure) report to this Board with an explanation of why not a single tree was spared when the trees were cut along the commuter rail line, including trees far up from the tracks on flat ground by Junction Park and the Central Street parking lot, and what the GLX Team’s plans are to replant trees in that area and to prevent erosion on the hills by the tracks.
