Please do not assign this to the City Horticulturist as they will pass the buck, say "Median maintained by the State of Florida", and then close the issue.

I don't know what department handles what, or what is within Gainesville's jurisdiction, the county's, or the state's. I am relying on the experts in our local departments to route these requests to the pertinent units so work can be done.

Thank you.

I am sorry that you were unhappy with my first response. I will leave this issue open. I have reached out to the appropriate contact at DOT and we are going to investigate further. If DOT gives me the permission, I will get a tree in there as soon as next week. If it ends up being that, due to liability, they need to install it, they will get on that quickly as well. Once again, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Good afternoon. FDOT has plans to get the trees replanted this summer. Ken Cheek at Florida Department of Transportation will be the point of contact for this project. He can be reached at 386-961-7453 and his email address is: Kenneth.Cheek@dot.state.fl.us

Thank you for using 311GNV.
