Queens Council Member proposes a new bill to have NYC DOT and Parks team-up for tree care

The placement of tree guards across New York City could soon fall under the joint responsibility of the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the city’s Parks Department if a new bill introduced by Council Member Robert Holden is signed into law.

Holden, who represents District-30 in City Council, introduced several pieces of legislation earlier this month, including a bill (Int. 882) that would require the DOT to place and maintain tree guards across city neighborhoods.
