We, the undersigned, are property owners in the area , we believe that it is important to ensure that the development prioritises the inclusion of trees and plants in the parking lot and surrounding areas of the new mall.

Why Trees and Green Plants Are Essential:

1. Environmental Benefits: Trees help reduce air pollution, absorb carbon dioxide, and improve air quality. They also provide shade, helping to reduce the “heat island” effect caused by large expanses of tar.
2. Improved Aesthetics: Green spaces make urban areas more attractive, which can help increase foot traffic and create a welcoming environment for shoppers and visitors.

3. Economic Value: Landscaping with trees and plants can enhance property values and attract more businesses and customers to the area.

We request that the developers and planners of the new strip mall:

• Plant trees in the parking lot to provide shade and reduce the environmental impact.
• Incorporate plants and landscaping into the design of the surrounding areas to improve aesthetics and support local biodiversity.
• Ensure ongoing maintenance of these green spaces to keep them healthy and vibrant.

By signing this petition, we express our strong support for a sustainable and environmentally conscious approach to the development of this new commercial space. We hope the developers will consider these benefits and work with the community to create a more beautiful and environmentally friendly place.
