Street trees are an essential component of complete streets. Planting street trees throughout our communities adds to sustainability efforts by reducing stormwater runoff issues, ensuring benefits for mobility, community, and the environment. Up to 400 trees are available to block clubs and community groups this fall to organize neighborhood tree plantings. If you would like organize your neighborhood to plant trees along the street the process is simple, click here to start now. Deadline for reserving trees is September 21st.

The Community Bicycle workshop will be closed the rest of the month for cleaning, organizing and restructuring. An open house will be held on October 5th from 7pm-10pm - stay tuned for more details.
