Description

In front of building 282 St Paul's Avenue, the Jersey City Construction crew removed completely two trees or one tree in the Jersey City owned sidewalk and people ask that the trees be planted again. Please consider planting the cherry blossom trees again after construction is finished at the same locations where it was removed if possible.

Residents also ask the Jersey City Forestry department to also place 2 or 1 big round gray concrete planting pots to be placed on the Jersey City sidewalk near the the front entrance door of 282 St Paul's Avenue and also at the second location on the Jersey City sidewalk of Liberty Avenue and the side of the building at 282 St. Paul's Avenue near their driveway. The residents of St. Paul's Avenue and Liberty Avenue want trees replanted and big round planting pots in order to plant flowers into those pots at those locations in order to beautify the area. Here is one of the complaints by a resident of Jersey City below:
"Hello neighbors, please do not let the city replace our precious trees with planters. Trees help reduce flooding which is very expensive to property owners, planters do not. Trees clean the air and the cool hot temperatures of urban heat islands, planters do not. Trees increase property values and provide birds and other animals with habitat for decades to come. Planters will never provide these meaningful benefits. It’s not acceptable that the city rip down, potentially mistakenly, a healthy neighborhood tree and not replace it. We deserve better when our neighborhood tree canopy is a dismal 9%"

Thank you for your cooperation.
