Reply to comment by Locksmith-Pitiful in RIPTA is taking a public survey on how to update the bus stops for the Thayer Tunnel. by Ristray

Not that I don't believe you, but man I would really love to talk to one of these sociopaths that don't like greenery... That is just so utterly bizarre to me haha.

Talk to any folks outside of ivy or summit -- camp, grand view, cypress, abott, Duncan, jenkins, etc. I've talked to so, so many landlords in recent years and I have not met a single one that wanted to promote greenery. Funny, most landlords don't live on the property.

Outside of the first two streets I mentioned, the east side is losing greenery, and fast.

Gah that's super disappointing. Do you know if there's anything people can do to promote it or vote for it city-wide, or is it just the local residents that have a say? I don't live on the east side but I'm 1000% for more greenery anywhere and everywhere we can put it lol.

The city has some sidewalk tree programs that the landlord has to pay for and reach out to, that's about it. There's some community steward programs but again, folks need to reach out. There aren't any incentives and if you own the property, you can do whatever you want.
