	*****************************
	 Haight-Ashbury Action Alert
	*****************************
	 Save Our Neighborhood Trees

Healthy city trees are being routinely approved for removal by
the Department of Public Works as a result of a flawed review
process which deprives the public of our right to be heard.  DPW
is in violation of our right to due process as guaranteed by the
14th Amendment.  The city is currently taking steps to correct
this problem.

Meanwhile, we lose on-street parking, level sidewalks, and
healthy city trees.  Two Haight/Ashbury neighborhood trees
which were slated for removal under the flawed process will be
destroyed to provide access to private, add-on garages at 1514
Waller and 1478 Page Street.  That is, unless enough folks take
action.  Formal appeals have already been filed with the Board
of Appeals for both cuts, and hearings have been set for
June 5th at 5 PM, Room 416 at City Hall.

	  Help Stop the Chop:  Here's what you can do:

* Sign the petition being circulated in the Haight Ashbury
  or online:

http://www.petitiononline.com/stopchop/petition.html

* Join us at the Board of Appeals hearings on June 5th.  5 PM.

* Write letters opposing the loss of these two city trees.  Too
  many are vanishing throughout the district and the city as it
  is and we want to stop this routine destruction:

  Board of Permit Appeals, 1660 Mission, Room 3036, SF, CA
  94103, and/or fax: 575-6885,

* Contact Matt Gonzalez' office at 554-7630 ask him to (a) help
  stop the cutting of these two trees, and to (b) pressure the
  DPW to correct their flawed review process before approving
  any more tree removals from city property.
