Seven trees — two oaks, a brush cherry, a toyon, a palm, a stone pine and a pittosporum — would come out for parking lot repaving, replaced one-for-one nearby. The committee recommended approval and asked staff to look at saving one healthy oak.

Seven-Tree Removal at 29 Prado Road

The transit center parking lot project would remove two coast live oaks, a brush cherry, a toyon, a palm, a pine and a pittosporum, with a one-to-one replanting plan. Most trees are in poor condition or would suffer critical root zone damage from repaving.
