The City of Santa Monica, specifically the City Manager’s Office, spent thousands and thousands of taxpayer dollars to mail to virtually every resident and business their one-sided spin on the Second and Fourth Streets Pedestrian and Streetscape Improvement Project, mostly the Ficus tree removal aspect of the plan. The problem is by not joining with Treesavers months ago to reach a business and environmentally friendly win-win solution the City is sending out many misrepresentations, half- truths and misleading information now that the overwhelming majority of residents and visitors don’t want. The people, who the City should be listening to have so far been for the most part ignored and disrespected. There is still hope for a win-win solution, regardless of what the Court rules.
