Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday; March 19, 2018 Page 7 Ms. Lanese stated, we have seen markers on trees for a portion of the time right now. We have been asking ourselves which ones are coming down, the ones that are marked or the ones that are not marked? When they came in and cleared them all out, that was very confusing and it gave us the wrong impression. Why weren't they just all marked or none of them marked? I don't know. Council President Saponaro stated, :I don't know either. And it could have been related to the trail as well. That's a good question for them to answer for you as well. Ms. Tweed stated, one last thing I want to share. We met with them multiple times over at the center here. The plans that were shared with us today could have been shared with us then so we would at least know what was coming. We came here and we pushed to not get the path in because we were working from the bigger plans that you saw. We were working to try to save those trees. Had we had the plans that were shared with us today maybe we would have taken a different approach as well. But we didn't have that at our disposal. Council President Saponaro stated, and I would say that when you all came although the trees were a portion of it, safety was your biggest concern in having the path and the safety aspect of it. I am not sure you would be in a better position if you had the-trail because as Mr. Cappello said, more trees would be coming out and maybe farther up. I don't know. But your concerns are valid. I think you need to have a candid conversation with Rachel and her team and let them know that this is what your disappointment is and how can they rectify it to.make you and your neighbors happy. Ms. Tweed stated, right. And again, I have to'say that Rachel and their tearri will meet with us on Friday and they have been open to adding additional trees in there and trying to make it right as best as they can. Council President Saponaro stated, wonderful. Certainly, feel free to call me to the, extent I can assist in any way. I am Council-at-Large. Also, call your Ward Council. Anyone will be happy to help with this. Ms. Tweed stated, I appreciate it. Council President Saponaro stated, thank you very much. Is there anyone else who wants to speak? . Dino DiFranco 553 Zorn Lane Thanks for letting us speak again. We have come here this evening prepared to talk again about the streetlight that was installed on Zorn Lane where I live. Myself and the other 150 residents were not informed about the streetlight before it went up. Just a few minutes ago, Joe informed me that there's really not anything Council can do about it because they also were not informed about this streetlight.
