This proposal should not be fast-tracked. It only takes into account the private benefit of pruning and tree removal. It does not address the costs to the public. Trees provide tremendous benefits, such as air purification and cooling, carbon sequestration, stormwater catching, and aesthetic benefits. The potential loss of these benefits must be considered.
