Environmentally focused legislation led by Southeast Queens Council Member Nantasha Williams was recently approved by the New York City Council, aiming to make tree care services more transparent and accessible to residents.
On Thursday, April 10, the Council passed Intro. 800 and Intro. 978, two bills sponsored by Williams, representing neighborhoods including Cambria Heights, St. Albans, Queens Village and Jamaica. The legislation enhances public access to information about how the city maintains its street trees and responds to hazardous conditions.
