Other: In 2019/2020, the Rogers Multiuse Path Project removed a large area of mature evergreen trees and shrubs. Before the project began, the city convened a public meeting at Sherwood Oaks church, where this project was presented. Neighborhood residents were under the impression (from what was stated at the meeting) that despite the construction and removal of mature trees and shrubs there was a plan to replace the mature trees and provide appropriate barriers to shield adjacent residences from Rogers Rd. Given that one of the adjacent neighborhoods is named “The Woodlands” it is ironic that the large swath of mature trees and shrubs was removed by the city. In 2020, the neighborhood inquired about the promised tree replacement plan and advocated in support of the tree replacement plan via email exchanges with a city employee. This link to Google Street view shows some of the mature trees, shrubs, and vegetation that existed before removal. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rogers+Rd+%26+Winding+Brook+Circle/@39.1360284,-86.5043552,3a,75y,11.81h,104.02t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sM5SSfiHav1RemgRHxy-NNQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D-14.024763466822193%26panoid%3DM5SSfiHav1RemgRHxy-NNQ%26yaw%3D11.809023229470313!7i16384!8i8192!4m7!3m6!1s0x886c66797856700f:0x281f08677540884f!4b1!8m2!3d39.136063!4d-86.504227!16s%2Fg%2F1ymsmq0qb?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDQyMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D The neighbors request that you please consider restoration of trees, shrubs, and vegetation.

Andrew, I believe this was an engineering project, but other than that I do not have any information related to this project, nor is there ROW for my area to plant trees in.
