West Oakland residents express outrage as red tags mark dozens of trees for removal to make way for a major housing project. The development, approved in 2020, aims to replace 400 parking spots with over 760 homes, including 240 affordable units. However, many trees are in the way of new sewers, power lines, and building footprints. Locals, feeling blindsided, protest the loss of mature green cover in a historically Black neighborhood. The city halts the developers tree permit review, preparing a revised application and community meeting. Trees will be removed in phases this summer, with replacements mandated by the city. Neighbors advocate for saving healthy trees while welcoming the housing boost.
