Subject: Time-sensitive documented Long Beach tree preservation questions — R-7192 / PW-26-759

Hello,

Could a reporter or editor review a source-linked investigation concerning mature trees north of Ocean Boulevard along the Los Angeles River at the West Shoreline Drive Realignment Project (R-7192)?

The city promises approximately 5.6 additional acres of park space and mobility improvements; the independent inquiry asks whether its design and construction instructions adequately preserve the existing mature grove. The published demolition drawings, planting legend, general tree-protection note, and VIS-2 environmental commitment raise document-specific questions, including whether a complete tree-by-tree retention schedule exists and when engineers first received tree inventories.

A 2025 Coastal Commission review reduced proposed removals from 65 to 21 in a limited SOUTHERN permit area. That precedent does not establish protection of the NORTHERN grove.

I am not asserting improper motives or a verified first felling date. I am requesting urgent documentary review and an opportunity for people qualified to help before irreversible work begins. Please route this to the most relevant editor or reporter if necessary.
