Why is he saving Brickell's trees?
Is someone going to send out the arborists to test the trees on Brickell to see if they are safe to walk under, you know, like the ones in the Grove? I would like to send out the same ones who fear that our trees are going to fall and kill people, let them do an assessment on Brickell's trees, too.
By the way, the link he has there goes here: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/irsn87

Hypocrite, recall this Coconut Grove hater, Brickell is where he got most of his support from last election because of the builders and associations he had kissed up to for endorsement. A Repulsive politician, Coconut Grove's Tree killer Number One. Recall him.
They're safer on Brickell because that's where most of his votes came from.
Some of you guys are going away over board on this. Look at 27th ave right now. Look at it. Corner with bayshore Dr. pretty decent job, one must admit. (except for the laughable "bike path") No one likes to cut trees down. It depends on the circumstances. Heck, I'd love to have all the sacred Mangroves chopped up, as they were before when we could enjoy water views for decades, but that's probably why I don't even pretend to apply for office at City Hall.

The trees in the grove are being replaced, not permanently removed.
And Sledge is right, not a word in the blog about the great job they did planting the oaks on 27th.
Look I get that this is an anti-Sarnoff blog, but can't you see the difference between replacing individual trees and the mass destruction of dozens of trees?
And every save the tree member who has a house in the Grove is a hypocrite, since every lot was cleared of trees to build the homes. I will respect the save the tree crowd when they tear down their houses and replant the trees on the lots.
The point of the blog is for information and to prove a point that people on Brickell complained about the removal of the trees and he tells them what they can do. As for the Grove people no information just basically full steam ahead to put in those new trees and irrigation system. So lets sum this up Brickell information how to possible stop tree removal, Brickell 5am liquor license, Brickell trolley. Has for the Grove no 5 am liquor, no trolley, but our trees will be chopped and the new once have a special water fountain for when they are thirsty costing $$$$$$$$$$. I have nothing against Brickell but it seems like he wants no action in the community where he lives.
SAVE THE TREES
TREES ADD BEAUTY AND IMPROVE PERSONAL HEALTH
• Trees are major capital assets in America’s cities and towns. Just as streets, sidewalks, sewers, public buildings and recreational facilities are a part of a community’s infrastructure, so are publicly owned trees. Trees-and, collectively, the urban forest-are important assets that require care and maintenance the same as other public property.
• Trees are on the job 24 hours every day working for all of us to improve our environment and quality of life.
• Without trees, the city is a sterile landscape of concrete, brick, steel and asphalt. Picture your town without trees. Would it be a place where you would like to live?
• Trees make communities livable for people.

As long as you're pissing people off you know you're actually participating in real journalism. :)
To the poster who thinks this is an anti-Sarnoff site-
You need to check out the Crespogram.
Personally I think anyone who uses their political pull to have the taxpayers build a traffic circle in front of their house is an ass. When one works for the City at his level one is a steward, not an owner.
Oh, and I think 27th and Bayshore looks like crap. I feel like I'm pulling up to Brickell and SE 8th st.

What about the gorgeous oaks that were felled off of Miami Ave between 8th and 7th streets? Any mitgation there?
The article raises a clear and important question about actions of an elected official related to specific public assets. Perverse and obvious disparity is being questioned. It is comparing trees to trees in the same district but in different neighborhoods a short distance apart.
This guy is just like Mitt Romney. It sickens me to no end how they smile willingfully, while doing the most decrepit things to the community.
