. >> my name is john nolte. i am here to speak on the 16th street corridor. it's the same presentation i put in in front of d.p.w. this first picture here is may 2019 at 1,516th street. you can see the trees are below the wires. that is so that, you can see the tops of the trees are fine. the next one shows that there is no damage, as he was saying. you can see there is no damage from the trucks or vans hitting the sides of the trees. as you can see, obviously d.p.w., or the contractor chopping limbs off the trees before they are even removed. those are fresh cuts. these trees that are in front of 1,516th street, this picture was taken june 2019. the contractor came out and removed the tree, before the permit was heard in front of d.p.w. i didn't hear that in anybody's presentation. i am asking the commission to penalize the contractor for taking out trees -- leave it there, taking out the trees that were part of this permit, and we are having it appealed right now. nobody seems to be talking about two trees that have been taken out prior to this appeal. also
