Could you double-check this? The street tree comment below is based on the listed scale of 1" = 30' and may not be fully applicable at 1" = 20'. Response: Scales corrected to 1" = 20' Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 12/15/2014 12/15/2014: The spacing of street trees along Worthington Circle should be at 30 to 40 foot intervals. With the planned removal of several trees along this stretch there remain large gaps that should be filled in with additional street trees. Response: Trees have been added where possible. Where there may be potential conflicts with utilities or streetlights, smaller ornamental trees planted nearby should be investigated as a potential option to reduce the impact of large gaps in the street tree network which is particularly consistent along Worthington. Response: Trees have been added where possible. Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 12/15/2014 12/15/2014: For clarification, where is the proposed enclosed bicycle parking space?
