We originally started this petition in March of 2020 to alert people that the “Downtown Action Plan” aimed to remove over 150 established trees in the downtown of Laguna  Beach. 

You responded by signing this petition, writing letters to Laguna Beach City Council members, and speaking at the meeting. You changed the course of events and the trees were safe, for a while.

Laguna Beach trees on lower Forest Avenue are in jeopardy again.  City consultants have prepared two alternative plans to make permanent the “Promenade,” the street closure done during the pandemic to accommodate restaurants.  Both plans propose to remove almost all of the eucalyptus trees that line the sidewalks of this iconic and historic downtown area.  

If you value the beauty and feeling that mature trees contribute to the streetscape and character of our downtown, speak out at the Council meeting and sign this petition.  Preserving existing trees should be a goal of any plans for the Forest Avenue area.

Please see the UPDATE below for more information. 

Plans for a permanent Promenade will be reviewed by the City Council Tuesday, January 23, item 10 on the agenda.

The meeting starts at 5 p.m. There will be several items heard before Item 10. 

You may speak in person at the City Council chambers at 505 Forest Avenue or speak remotely with this zoom link:
