San Francisco Mayor Lee - Fund Prop E - Manage Trees and Fix Sidewalks!

Nature in the City needs your help to encourage the Mayor to support biodiversity in the City. This is your chance to tell Mayor Lee to honor your vote for Proposition E, which requires the city to provide responsible management of our street trees. On November 8th, San Francisco voters mandated the city to start taking care of city sidewalks and trees with a clear majority of 79%.
Now Mayor Lee is considering diverting the $19 million needed to implement Prop E to other budget priorities, despite our city budget having grown from $6.4 billion to $9.6 billion in just the past six years.
Sidewalk trees and plantings serve as islands, connecting our city’s parks and green space together to support bird migration, pollinators and food for many wild animals. Trees add to the beauty of our city, increase biodiversity, clean our air, help filter our city's water runoff, reduce traffic noise, and help build neighborhood and civic pride.
Asking Mayor Lee to support Prop E allows us to make real progress on the longstanding challenges of maintaining the street tree canopy. By taking these steps now we are protecting an asset that would cost $1.7 billion to replace.
Sign this petition to urge Mayor Lee to honor the vote of the people. Future generations depend on the decisions we make today!

Mayor Ed Lee -
We urge you to fully fund Prop E for trees. On November 8th, San Francisco mandated the city to start taking care of city sidewalks and trees with a clear majority vote of 79%.
San Francisco has for too long neglected its responsibility to fix sidewalks and properly take responsibility for city trees. Without allowing Prop E to take effect in keeping with the expectation of the vast majority of San Franciscans, we will lose our precious urban forest.

Please fully fund Prop E, which allows San Francisco to make real progress on the longstanding challenges of maintaining the street tree canopy. By taking these steps now we are protecting an asset that would cost $1.7 billion to replace.
Please honor our vote and invest in our natural assets. Future generations depend on the decisions we make today!
