Good Morning Everyone,
I have some exciting news about our efforts to replace the trees that were removed by the 800 Columbia project! Yesterday, 4 replacement trees were planted along Marion Street from 8th Avenue to 9th Avenue. I’ve attached photos below.
The other trees for replacement will be coming in the following days. 14 trees were required to be planted, and we’re almost there! The other locations are:
- 9th and Marion (3 trees) at the northeast corner of the intersection
- Columbia Street (2 trees) between 9th Avenue and the alley
- Terry (2 trees) adjacent to the gas station on Terry Avenue
- 9th and James (3 trees) across the street from Stockbox Groceries
Please let your neighbors at Skyline know that more replacement trees associated with the 800 Columbia project are on this way.
I’m especially excited that we were able to get two incense cedars planted – as evergreen trees in planting strips are rare to come by in urban environments!
