If the Lake Forest City Council allows the cutting down of the 13-inch diameter tree in front of Rosati's,
then I am running for Mayor again.
During the past few days, the Lake Forest City Council has blessed the cutting down of the 13-inch diameter tree in front of Rosati's,
It is official. Everything I do for the next 18 months will be focused on my Mayoral campaign.
The image captured below was from August of last year. (2024)
The City of Lake Forest does not understand the concept of addition.
Constantly cutting down large mature trees is subtraction in my book.
The existing tree in front of Rosati's is 13-inches in diameter.
The new tree on the Contract Drawings in front of Rosati's is 3-inches in diameter.
Maintaining healthy trees around or near city sidewalks in town is almost impossible, because of the amount of SALT placed on sidewalks, during the winter, by business owners.
I will grant you that the tree in front of Rosati's is not centered, in the planting area, but cutting down an old tree that has reached the 3rd floor of a building is sad, in my opinion.
Nobody knows the root structure and why salt has not killed the tree to date, but replacing a 13-inch diameter tree with a 3 inch diameter tree is sad.
Let nature take its course. Branches do not have to be Symmetrical, on every tree, to be beautiful.
If the branches have no leaves and the branch is dead, then pruning it is fine, in my book.
Bottomline.
If I do not like what is happening in city government, then I should get involved.
