This initiative aims to ensure that environmental factors, particularly the protection of the urban tree canopy, are considered when implementing these projects. The joint statement serves as a public engagement tool to raise awareness about the importance of trees and to promote a multi-modal transportation network that accommodates all ages and abilities, encouraging walking and biking.
