I've seen the trees and to think that that many need to be taken down is ridiculous when most can simply be trimmed. To remove them would leave us a VERY different Zilker Park and Barton Springs.

I believe that he is the best arborist in the country, and Davey's reluctance to listen to him represents a typical wasteful Texan mindstate, in which nature is always made to suffer senselessly. Austin is better than that; smarter.

Yeah, another branch could fall. But then again, it might not.
I might die in a car crash today. I might die crossing the street. There are a lot of mights, but rather than rush to decision, let's allow all parties involved, including the arborist, to explain their points of view to the City Council.
Let's protect and value all life.

A promise to replant trees won't help, because they'll just no larger than a broomstick handle, like those found in so many parking lots. That just won't do.

These trees are absolutely gorgeous and add way too much to the park to be cut down. They can not be replaced! Their age alone should justify trying to save them.

I have taken classes from Don Gardener and I recommend taking his very good advise.

I hope you reconsider cutting the trees down.
