Likewise, coniferous species will include pinion pine, ponderosa <br />pine, Austrian pine, southwestern white pine, scotch pine, white fir and spruce. <br />Please describe why this project is needed, how it supports City -wide goals and objectives. <br />what realistic options or alternatives have been considered, and what payback. or return on <br />investment, has been calculated; <br />The City of Louisville's urban forest is an asset in constant flux. Every year older, over- <br />mature trees decline and eventually die, trees are lost due to construction, insect and <br />disease problems continue to place trees in jeopardy, and vandalism and accidents <br />continue to take their toll on our urban forest inventory_ By planting trees every year, <br />the City insures that the urban forest's population is maintained. Additionally, new <br />areas are identified for tree planting. Street trees are a tremendous asset to the <br />community by providing shade, noise reduction, pollution reduction, and provide <br />aesthetic value. <br />Please provide a description of any grants and/or other revenue associated with this project <br />and the ongoing operational and !maintenance costs associated with this project_: <br />Replacement trees are planted in areas where irrigation currently exists, so ongoing <br />maintenance is somewhat minimal. <br />12 <br />18 <br />
