Will residents of El Camino Village be able to chose the type of tree they want featured outside of their house?

Robert Eisenhamer is one of the contact people for the tree removals that are occurring in the city of El Camino Village.

Residents were sent a letter informing them that their tree would be removed and they had the option of choosing whether they wanted the tree replaced. However, after speaking to Eisenhamer, he admitted that residents would probably not be involved in this decision. Instead, county planning officials from the Department of Public Works would seek to choose a species they feel would fit with the other species in the neighborhood. Further, it is likely that the same species will be chosen to replace all tree that have been removed since the county wants there to be consistency in all species planted.

Again, it looks like residents, who had no say in whether they wanted their tree removed in the first place, will have a decision made for them by the never-ending bureaucracy that is LA County.
