Monterey Pine Removal at Meadow Park (2333 Meadow St.)
Summary
A 50-year-old Monterey pine at the Meadow Park parking lot is in decline, and an ADA curb-ramp widening project will disturb its roots. The committee weighed the tree's visual prominence against its failing health and voted 5-2 to recommend removal with two replacement trees.

Impact analysis
Removal now is covered by the ramp project budget; removing it later would come out of the public works maintenance budget.
Park visitors get improved ADA access and healthier, more diverse tree canopy in the long run.
Neighbors who value the large, visually prominent tree lose mature canopy until replacements mature.
