Urged the committee to track the county's Safe Streets for All tree-cutting fight — now down from 8,000 to about 4,000 trees — and asked whether the green zoning subcommittee is an ECC body; she was told Adam will follow it.

Called the county's plan to clear-cut trees along eleven roads including Almena Drive a 'massacre' and suggested the $25 million grant instead fund independent arborists to target only dead and dying trees across 50 roads; warned of erosion, lost legacy trees, and increased speeding accidents.
