Proposed Tree Planting Plan for 40th and 42nd Street South

District 3 Residents,

I want to share an upcoming opportunity for residents to learn more about a proposed tree planting plan for 40th Street South and 42nd Street South.

The Birmingham Department of Transportation will present the plan at the upcoming Forest Park / South Avondale Neighborhood Meeting. This will be an opportunity for residents to hear directly from City staff about the proposed project, learn more about the plans for these corridors, ask questions, and provide feedback.

Meeting Details

If you live along 40th Street South or 42nd Street South, regularly travel these corridors, or simply have an interest in the project, I encourage you to attend.

City staff have indicated that the plans can also be shared electronically following the meeting; however, attending the meeting will provide additional context and an opportunity for direct dialogue with the team working on the project.

Our office will continue to share information about projects affecting District 3 neighborhoods and provide opportunities for residents to stay informed and engaged.

I hope you can join us tonight!
