THE CITY MAY BE CREATING A FIRE HAZARD ON THE ESPLANADE

Without the past knowledge of using tree chips on The Esplanade, the General Service Department (GSD) may be creating a fire hazard on the landscape area on the eastside of The Esplanade.

Many years ago, the Park Director used tree chips to control weeds on the dividing strip between northbound and southbound traffic lanes.

It seemed like a good idea expect that when the tree chips dried, they caught on fire from cigarettes and other items dropped in the tree chip areas.

Perhaps the GSD has taken this problem into consideration and found a way to minimize the fire hazard.
