NCTD Arborist Report


Last year JP and I ran a bunch of blog posts about tree removals along the HWY 101 corridor. Recall,

The city was ready to chop away. Happily, some of the key trees that were slated for removal by the contract arborist/tree trimmer were saved.

Many of the public trees that provide the foundation for Leucadia's aesthetic infrastructure are/were in the NCTD right of way. Back in September we posted a letter in response to Fred's inquiry at the NCTD. The letter says they plan on cutting down more trees based on the "most recent arborists survey."

I did a little research. What they planned on cutting down should not have been a surprise. It turns out the most recent arborist's report dates back to 2007. I've posted it up here for everyone to take a look. Does anyone know if the NCTD's arborist was also paid to remove trees (like they do here in the City of Encinitas?)

I think our next project should be to see if the NCTD will allow us to plant something along the RR corridor.
