we can fight city hall

“urban green spaces are fundamental components of a city’s infrastructure - green spaces enrich the lives of city dwellers in many ways, offering places to watch wildlife, to renew from the stresses of daily life, and to provide many environmental functions (i.e., minimize flooding) - evidence shows that urban green spaces reduce anxiety and stress, even help to lower crime and violence - however, many people only equate green spaces with public parks and other publicly accessible spaces - citizens forget about green spaces in their own backyards, the street right-of-ways and other public, private and semi-public places - urban green spaces are all around us and if we look hard enough we will be amazed at what they have to offer - unfortunately, many of these hidden green spaces are under threat of disappearing…….” - - the seattle audubon society

mr wysong has completed his “replanting” of the greenbelt -he has not followed his own plan, the latest city-approved plan, unsatisfactory and unsuitable as it was - what he has provided instead is a private path to his own backyard - instead of placement of trees and other planting elements in such a manner as to afford any semblance of return to the native habitat, he has lined a small road, with trees and small plantings to either side, that is simply a private and personal path, rather than a city of seattle greenbelt

what more does the city of seattle require before it intervenes?
