Subject: Time-sensitive: please route R-7192 mature-grove preservation evidence to people who can act

Hello,

I'm sharing an independent, good-faith public-interest investigation concerning the existing mature northern riverside grove at César E. Chávez Park and the West Shoreline Drive Realignment Project (R-7192), north of Ocean Boulevard.

The city proposes approximately 5.6 acres of additional park space and improved connections. Those benefits are welcome. The urgent unanswered question is whether more of the existing mature canopy can be preserved through feasible design or construction changes.

The evidence hub includes 116 resident geographic observations, all twenty demolition drawings, geographic comparisons, and source-linked accountability questions:

Could you please forward this to the appropriate urban-forestry advocates, arborists, civil or landscape engineers, environmental attorneys, river organizations, and affected community members? Please help establish who can take ownership of the next steps; don't wait for the original investigator to manage every referral.

Priority needs: confirm the first possible destructive-work date; obtain operative tree-specific removal and retention plans; recover completed VIS-2 minimization verification; and evaluate a narrowly targeted pause on irreversible tree work while defensible preservation alternatives are considered.

This is a request for independent review, not a claim that every mapped red observation is an officially confirmed removal. The 2025 southern coastal 37-tree preservation commitment applies to a separate area.

Please share or correct the findings with original source references. Thank you.
