Oppose Amend Vegetation Control Regulations on State Rights of Way
 

This amendment is only taking into consideration the assumed benefit to private business and ease of trimming for VDOT.It does not consider the public cost of tree removal. Larger trees are beneficial for stormwater capture, air purification and lowering temperatures-which also are benefits for private businesses. I do not believer this regulation should be fast tracked.
