23 residents submitting a petition re: the trees removed on Beacon Street.

body

Official Text

To the Board of Aldermen:

Please find attached a petition related to the trees of Beacon Street. 

We are asking that the city make an accounting of the street trees removed from Beacon between 2016 and the present.  For each tree, we are asking whether the correct process was followed in selecting it for removal.  If any trees were removed without proper authorization, we are asking for compensation and punitive measures against the people who acted inappropriately.

I will serve as the corresponding author on this petition. I would ask that you notify me when any action is taken on this matter. I will commit to keeping the other signers informed.

I look forward to your response, and thank you.

Respectfully,

Chris Dwan
