The issue is the DDOT-approved traffic control plan (required for the construction permit) does not take into account the exposure that street trees have when a parking lane becomes a travel lane for diverted oversize vehicles. Steve and I have reached out to the team that approves the TCPs and asked to work on preventing this from happening again by adding another item for consideration to their review list.

When I submitted a request for tree trimming in the fall, the arborist said it had shown no growth since 2019 and needed to come down.  The arborists are super responsive so you might log a 311 request to find out if it was lawfully removed.  It is very sad to lose these trees.
