Esteemed Councilmembers,
I am writing to you about a matter of tremendous importance regarding the plans you have been making for Cubberley. There are giant redwood trees ringing the property, and a few on the interior as well, who desperately need our protection. To lose these incredible assets to the community would be a disaster. They have seen generations of Palo Altans evolve and grow together. Our forebears wisely put redwoods along the edges of all the schools in town. This helps show kids and adults alike how beautiful and majestic a properly cared for environment can be in California.
Having a breathable space is essentially critical to our citizens' health. The best part about Palo Alto is that despite being a modern city, there is still reasonable tree and plant coverage. Air moves very fast and far. Maintaining robust tree coverage at Cubberley is vital for the entire neighborhood.
Many times construction projects carelessly remove giant trees. Hundreds of trees have been cut down nearby in recent years. Protecting these plants will lower the health complications many people have from breathing pollution Thank you for your consideration
Sincerely,
Christopher Alan Brosnan
