Treegate just became a thing. City Controller Kenneth Mejia has vowed to look into the newly pruned Ficus trees outside of Universal’s Gate 8, after picketers drew attention to their thinned …
. Universal owned up to trimming them but said in a statement it was done for “safety reasons” though it “has created unintended challenges for demonstrators, that was not our intention.”
“Trees are essential to providing Angelenos with significant environmental and public health benefits, especially during a heatwave,” Mejia said in a tweet. “Public Works’ Bureau of Street Services is responsible for maintaining the City’s 700,000+ trees in the public right-of-way.” He went on to say in a thread that “code enforcement for street trees is the responsibility of the StreetsLA Investigation and Enforcement Division. Violations can result in code enforcement citations.”
Our Office is investigating the tree trimming that occurred outside Universal Studios where workers, writers, and actors are exercising their right to picket.
