Urban canopy: arborist, tree assessment and public trust
Summary
After months of tension over tree removals, Council hired Gilmore & Associates as arborist and awarded ArborPro a $29,960 assessment contract, deliberately separating assessment from decision-making. Residents asked for TAC involvement in interviews and raised nesting-season and PECO removal concerns.
