Councilmember Dutton asked if the Poplar tree was the tree originally proposed to be planted. He said this is a self-initiated problem and he wants to make sure this does not happen again. He wanted to be assured that a program is now in place. Jeff Barnes, Parks/LS Maintenance Superintendent, answered affirmatively, although he did not know what system was in place at that time (in the early 80's). He said the developer probably chose that tree without realizing the long-term results. He said Planning and Engineering, as well as other cities, have spent a good deal of time collecting data on "what trees grow in the right spaces." He said we now have City Council Minutes September 18, 2002 Page 8 that data, so we know pretty much what size parkways we can plant trees in, which trees are too aggressive for small parkways and which are not.
