Editor: In November, 2010, I wrote a letter to the mayor and all the councillors on the 91原创 Township council.  The letter addressed the lack of timely planting of street trees on one section of 68 Avenue.

It was over four years before the developer came in and planted some street trees, three trees for seven houses.  One of these street trees has been dead for over two years and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

I did receive an e-mail from the Township landscape design co-ordinator that they did a review for acceptance of the street trees but the agent doesn't appear to care.  I believe that the policy of having three years or more to replace trees that the developer has destroyed is not good. That is far too long. The trees should be replaced immediately following the construction of the houses.

I just want to say that Kim Richter was the only person on the council who had the courtesy to respond to my letter. She called me and said that she would address the problem at the next council meeting. I plan to vote for Richter, because she appears to be the only member of the council who always brings forward valid questions about the size and scope of the development and does not rubber stamp each application.

Thank you Kim Richter, and keep up the good work.

Dianne Baker,
