David Gonzales (District 1 Leadership Council) urged TransMAC to fund targeted shade-tree planting along collector roads (within 1.5 miles of schools and neighborhood centers) to encourage walking and micro-mobility. He cited USDA Central Florida Community Tree Guide figures (net benefits example: $5,900,000 per 1,000 large trees over 40 years) and recommended boosting public-works median and street-tree budgets.
