The Bureau of Street Services has received a permit request to remove 4 mature trees along Amherst Ave near the corner of Amherst & Gorham Avenues in Brentwood, CA. The reason, Street Widening, two Palm Trees, a Juniper Tree on Amherst, and a 4th tree, the magnificent Camphor Tree on the NW corner of Gorham and Amherst.

This is a condition that was forced upon the developer that is currently building the units on the corner lot.The City's own records confirm that Amherst does NOT carry a traffic load, making the destruction of these mature trees pointless.

Please sign this petition if you agree.
