Neighborhood Planning Meeting - Jan 30th

The next Central West Austin Planning Workshop will discuss TREES!

When: WEDNESDAY, January 30th
Time: 6:45pm
Where: Austin State School (please see directions below)

Tree questions to consider for January 30th:
- What are the characteristics of your neighborhood’s existing urban forest?
- What are the issues affecting the neighborhood’s urban forest (age, disease)?
- What areas of your neighborhood would benefit from additional tree plantings?
- What utility accommodation strategies would best benefit the neighborhood forest (utility-friendly trees, change of pole sizes and/or location)?
- Are there heritage trees (noteworthy characteristics such as size or age), trees with historical significance (associated with a historical event or person), or large groves of trees?
- What theme (tree-lined streets, limited species, numerous species) do you want?
- What educational materials would benefit your community (how to plant, fertilizing, pruning, etc)?

Your comments and feedback have told us that trees mean a lot to your neighborhood. As such, please help us spread the word of this meeting by passing this notice along. Staff greatly appreciates any help getting the word out about the planning process we are currently in. Also, a BIG “Thank you” to all of those who have and continue to participate in the process.
