I am writing for the trees along Burnside - the mature red maples - and the trees in the median - the mature Norway maples. I understand they are all to go and perhaps be replaced by tiny, slow-growing palm trees. This would be a huge loss for the city. There is mention of a "landscaped median" but I'll bet trees (and I don't count palms as decent trees) are not included. In addition, what happens to Burnside west of 14th? It will surely be a bottlenec. I drive West Burnside from the river to 23rd a lot, and I think it's just fine the way it is.
