City officials say 26 miles of streets are in need of overhauling which could draw residents' ire because trees could be removed and sidewalks installed.

Tuesday morning, through heavy snowfall, Birmingham resident Jim Mirro was able to show the Birmingham City Commission something he is deeply passionate about, the natural history of his neighborhood.
