Since this tree controversy erupted a year ago, hundreds of residents have spoken at City Council meetings throughout 2024 against their planned tree destruction! Hundreds more have written letters and emails pleading with them to modify their Greenleaf Promenade design plans to retain our beloved ficus tree canopy in Uptown Whittier. Public comments, delivered in person and in writing, can be viewed on the City’s website (https://www.cityofwhittier.org/)under Agendas (then click on Meetings and select date range beginning with January 23, 2024).
EXCERPTS from Residents Writing & Speaking to the City Council:
“Don’t kill our City’s soul!”
“A disappointed and heartbroken local.”
“Why take out our carbon-fighting trees?!”
“Are you crazy?!”
“You’re succumbing to bleak modernization of a community that is unique due to trees.”
“Why was the phased tree replacement abandoned and replaced with a scorched earth design?”
“Urging you to abandon ‘circle the wagons’ reaction to public comments.”
“As a real estate agent, Whittier is coveted because of trees.”
Residents pack Whittier City Council meeting on Jan. 23, 2024 to protest the City’s decision to cut down ALL the mature trees at once in the heart of Uptown Whittier. Written Public Comments for that meeting can be viewed here
