Langley Council schedules special meeting to prioritize tree protections after Furman Avenue removals
Summary
Following public concern about tree removals on Furman Avenue, the Langley City Council scheduled a July 28 special meeting to prioritize tree protections in East Langley and extended public comment on the issue.
The Langley City Council on July 21 scheduled a special meeting for July 28 to discuss protecting trees in East Langley after Mayor Kennedy Horstman called attention to recent removals on Furman Avenue. The motion to hold the special meeting and to prioritize the tree discussion passed unanimously after a friendly amendment to set the tree item first.
Residents raised concerns during the public comment period about the Furman Avenue removals and the Langley Infrastructure Project, with speakers including Kim Pederson, Margaret Toher, David Smith and others urging tree protections. The council amended its July 28 agenda order at the meeting, with Councilmember Craig Cyr’s amendment to schedule the tree discussion first adopted before the original motion passed.
