I have been in communication with Dan Humbles who is in charge of the
project. Below is some of our recent communication on the subject.

Ms. Adams,
The tees will be replaced in the spring if they were not done this year.
The vendor is working to make the area safe and aesthetic by cutting the stumps off and removing the tape.
We have received authorization to move forward with shrub replacement
on 4 sections of Coal which should start within the next few weeks.
I will keep you apprised of the situation as I meet with the vendor.
I will provide you with a list of scheduled tree locations as soon as the list is finalized.

Hi, Dan.
I am sending you this photo and the next one to show the "development" of the tree issue on Lead. In the next
couple of days after your response to my email, the holes around the tree roots were covered and the yellow tape removed. It appears that the vendor who is working on the project has no intention to actually replace the trees. Back in spring, when the trees
were replaced up and down Lead, I watched a couple of workers attempt to remove the roots of the old/broken trees that are featured in the photos; however, it looked that the task was too much of a job, so it was left unfinished. At this point in time, I would
like to know what the plan was when you discussed the issue with the vendor - was the intent to replace the tree or just cover up the holes? Thanks for looking into that and communicating with me.

I saw that this morning too. The grass looked fine and added a nice touch to the landscaping, imo.
The city keeps telling me they don’t have the money to put in deciduous trees on the south side of my house, along the Coal side. They put three live oaks which block the sun on our solar collectors. The trees could be relocated to the places
where other trees are missing. We don’t want them here. The contractors told us decidous trees would go in but they made a mistake.
Wonder what they see as a problem with the grass. The numerous ling of sight problems at the coners due to walls and other shrubs are much more of a problem than the low grass.
How do we get an explaination about this? It would be nice if we knew of this before hand and could maybe have offered some solutions. The grass was actually a nice feature.

I see the city workers on Coal removing plants, They told me that they are going to remove all the grasses that are planted and that the city wants to replace it with something lower, Evidently the
city must have extra money to redo. landscaping that looked fine when they dont have the money to replace trees on. Coal that have been run down by vehicles Pat Davis promised they would be replaced earlier this year. I think the trees are more important
than replacing existing plants.
