The December, 2000 - January 2001 Street Tree Stand-Off Between City Officials and Davis Residents
On Monday, December 4, 2000, contract tree-cutters arrived on Seventh Street between B and C with the purpose of cutting down eleven trees, most of them on the south side of Seventh Street between B and C streets. Neighbors mobilized and the result was a stand-off in which, as of this publication in December, 2007, the trees have never been cut. This pdf file consists of the Davis Enterprise story of December 6, 2000 reporting on Monday's stand-off, a December 24, 2000 op ed on PG&E policies threatening Davis street trees, a January 8, 2001 letter to the Enterprise proposing actions for a Street Tree Commission meeting on January 8, and, finally, the January 19, 2001 Enterprise report of the Commission meeting in which assembled "Davisites Show Passion for Trees."
