Things Don't Change in Tree-gate Town

Click on image to enlarge.

The picture above was taken several years ago when some work was done in Vista de Valle Park in El Paso's Cielo Vista neighborhood. Where was the supervision of the site in accordance with the Policy and Standards Manual for the Care of Trees and Shrubs in El Paso? Engineering failed. Parks and Recreation failed. The City of El Paso failed. The trees were damaged.

As you can see the total disregard of city policy by its inspectors and city engineers has been going on for years.

By the way, elpasonaturally has a link to the Policy and Standards Manual for the Care of Trees and Shrubs in El Paso as found on the city web site. That link is no longer good.  Now when you search for that document, you get this:

So elpasonaturally has uploaded that document HERE just in case the City has either lost it or intends to lose it.

Tree-gate continues.
