These are not dirty trees... leave them in place. Thank you for keeping the Blue Heron sacred.

We need all of the mature, healthy trees that we can get

In general, I believe that palm trees are silly. they use quite a bit of water and provide no shade. However, Blue Herons have adapted themselves to use these particular palm trees as nesting sites. So please save these trees!

We should try to cohabitat with nature and the animals that share our spaces, instead of just shuffling them around.

Why must the character and personality-rich iconic fixtures of prominence that have stood the test of time so often - more often than not - constantly be messed with because it doesn't quIte fit with the vision of some developer or other "squeaky wheel?" We seem to be losing so much that has drawn so many of us here in the first place. Stand up for the Long Beach we know and love for a change! If our elected officials don't step up soon, it'll be too late! We don't have to make or build our individuality, it's already here. Help us keep it-STOP SELLING OUT!

Trees are a living life form and should not be destroyed for no good reason. These trees are beautiful and provide nesting for blue herons making them a valuable part of habitat.

Seems the law outweighs the loss of some habitat? Hope that our elected mayor and city council get it right or get an injunction.

The new development at 2nd & PCH is not only ugly, but dangerous to beautiful birds. The trees belong to the city, not the developer.

Stop destroying important wildlife habitat. You have a choice to do the responsible thing. You do not need to choice an adverse path. Be responsible.

Do not remove the trees.
Acts like this give developers a bad name, make "redevelopment a four-letter word, bring costly litigation and job loss for incumbent politicians.

We can keep both. Original palm trees and a beautiful shopping/dining promenade.

It's time for the city of LB to think first and act second, unlike their normal modus operandi. Save these trees for the birds and worry about people later... without birds our civilization could easily die.

The trees are part & parcel of Long Beach and the marina. Work around them. You're not moving the curbs, so just leave them! Just because some architect doesn't want them in HIS plan, they are OUR trees. The new developer does not own 8' in from the curb. That belongs to US!
LEAVE OUR TREES ALONE!!!

Save the trees. Don't disturb the herons.
