	"description": "BPCA resiliency project is cutting down 500 mature trees — 40% of the project area&#x27;s canopy. Cutting has already begun. In its May 2026 reply, BPCA confirmed trees are being removed because they sit within the project&#x27;s &quot;limits of work.&quot; But limits of work are design choices, not external constraints — and no reach in the Final Environmental Impact Statement was designed with tree retention as a primary objective. That is the threshold problem. SEQRA requires a &quot;hard look&quot; at alternatives that could reduce significant environmental impacts. On the record, that hard look has not been demonstrated. We are asking BPCA to: 1. Justify each of the 500 removals individually, on the record. 2. Develop a retention-first design alternative for each reach. 3. Submit both for independent review by experts with no financial tie to the design-build contractor. 4. Pause all further removals until the analyses are published. Communities have stopped projects like this before — Sacramento, Ventura, Miami — by pausing cutting until alternatives were studied.
