Gibbons Drive Sidewalks and Trees Plan

Residents and city officials are clashing over how to balance pedestrian safety, ADA compliance, and sidewalk repairs with the preservation of 112 mature liquid amber trees on Gibbons Drive. The proposed plan would allow up to a 20% removal cap every five years, but community members strongly oppose fast-tracked tree removals and want more emphasis on engineering solutions like sidewalk meandering.

What it means: Residents and pedestrians seeking safe, accessible walkways, as well as property owners whose infrastructure conflicts are addressed.
