Woodside: $212,500 tree-cutting fine is paid in full

Cannot agree enough with Councilwoman Kasten's suggestion to allocate the funds to improving pedestrian safety, particularly children's safety!!

Since the fine was for cutting down trees, many would advocate using the funds to plant new trees in public places!

Barkley Park is hot and shade free.
Canada road has some trails with no trees, and ugly highway views.
The school lost a couple heritage trees this year, and could use replacement by the playgrounds or the baseball visitor seating

Plant trees!

That is a massive gain for city hall but at the same time was Mr. Koppl even aware or given instruction that he could or could not fell the trees. It was his property at the time that the trees were located on? If there is no reason to touch a tree by way of felling or removing then that is to be respected. Trees give so much to our community and life. We have to respect mother nature for sure. Tough call for Mr. Koppl but hopefully the city will do something constructive with the money.http://www.treeremovalseguin.com

"was Mr. Koppl even aware or given instruction that he could or could not fell the trees. "

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
