HAMMITT Bob <br /> From: MEDLIN Johnny R <br /> To: BASCOM Ruth F <br /> Cc: HAMMITT Bob; PLAMONDON Scott F; DALE Randal J; DILLER Della M <br /> Subject: FW: Woonerfs Tree Planting Opportunity <br /> Date: Tuesday, September 05, 1995 8:46AM <br /> Hi Ruth, <br /> Bob Hammitt passed on to me your interest in the possibility of planting additional trees in the "woonerf" <br /> area. The below note from Scott indicates that there are a number of possibilities. We will need to <br /> coordinate the plantings with the Transportation Division to ensure the species /spacing of the plantings <br /> minimizes any potential conflict with existing street lights which luminate the intersections. <br /> Unless we hear differently from you, we will proceed to add this project to the NeighborWoods efforts this <br /> winter. Failing finding sufficient volunteers to make this happen, we will perform the plantings by contract. <br /> Please feel free to call X -5220 if you have any comments or concerns. <br /> Thanks <br /> Johnny <br /> From: PLAMONDON Scott F <br /> To: MEDLIN Johnny R <br /> Subject: Woonerfs Tree Planting Opportunity <br /> Date: Friday, August 25, 1995 2:01 PM <br /> Johnny, I have completed my review of the woonerfs for the possibility of planting trees on them. There <br /> is an opportunity here to plant some trees and following is a breakdown of the woonerfs that can be <br /> planted. They are in order according to the degree of opportunity for successful planting. <br /> 1. There are three large circle islands that can be planted with groups of smaller trees. They are in the <br /> intersection of Mill at 17th and 16th, and on Ferry at 17th. <br /> 2. There are two smaller circle islands that can be planted with a columnar or small tree. These circles are <br /> small and if the tree is planted in them they will need to be protected from vehicles. These islands are at <br /> 15th and 14th and Ferry street. <br /> 3. There are five narrow islands that also can be planted with small trees. These islands offer the least <br /> opportunity for tree planting. Each of them could be planted with two small or columnar trees. They may <br /> also need to be protected from vehicles. They are located on 14th and 17th and Patterson and on 18th at <br /> Ferry, and on 16th and 15th at High. <br /> There are a number of other woonerfs that either have trees existing or they aren't appropriate for tree <br /> planting. <br /> If we can get neighborhood volunteers to plant and establish them, the woonerfs tree planting can be part <br /> of NeighborWoods. Otherwise, we can plant and establish them with City staff. <br /> Please let me know if you want us to proceed with these tree plantings for the woonerfs so that we can <br /> try to find volunteers and order the trees. <br /> Thanks Scott <br /> Page 1 <br />
