Editor:
I would like to recommend that the Edmonds City Council consider the following in giving advice to city staff for amending/rewriting the draft tree code. The draft is in serious need of rewrite because of its lack of focus on big trees (i.e., 8″ diameter or more) and unnecessary complexity and exceptions that create huge loopholes in the city’s effort to preserve its tree canopy.
(Note: I didn’t provide the below as a public comment at last night’s council meeting because many in the public are feeling more and more that the mayor, the council and city staff are not acknowledging “informed” public comments).
