SUMMARY:
At the August 2, 2018 meeting of the Environmental Advisory Board, the Board discussed vehicles being driven and/or parked on the right of way within the 12th Avenue tree tunnel. This is occurring primarily with delivery drivers, mail carriers, and the like. The result of this activity is damaging the root systems of the trees.
The Board voted on and passed a recommendation to be sent to the City Council requesting some type of signage to be placed within the area to provide an alert to the prohibition of driving and/or parking on the right of way.
