The only chance you will ever get!

This is a unique situation, placing a heavy responsibility squarely on the shoulders of council members. It is unique because this is the only large-scale destruction of trees that the city council can actually stop. There will continue to be massive clearing of trees and destruction of greenspace and wildlife habitat within the city; but in all those cases, the land owners will be private entities, and the government can only require them to save a small number of trees.  In the case of the Doherty Dr/ Heritage Oaks Blvd Extension, the city government owns the property and has absolute control. With that control comes responsibility for preserving the environment.

 

We say to the council members: This may be the only chance you will ever get to avert an environmental blunder of this magnitude. Please, choose wisely!
