We are actively involved in tree planting and maintenance of major roadways in the City. The F.E.C. railroad parallels U.S. Federal Highway #1 and a beautification goal of the City is to provide a visual barrier of the tracks and trains to passing motorists. An exotic species of Australian Pine hedge has existed along this 3,500 foot area requiring constant trimming and plant replacement-to keep it at a maximum height of 4 feet (F.E.C. requirement). The purpose of this grant project would be to plant and water fifty native Red Cedar trees. The trees would be installed outside the F.E.C~ right-of-way along U.S. Highway $1 between NE 15th Avenue and NE 22nd Avenue (approximately 2,500 feet). This would allow the City to eventually remove the unsightly exotic hedge, eliminate the hedge maintenance and the mature Red Cedar trees will screen the trains and tracks in the planted area.
