More Trees Are Coming to Central Avenue in Fall 2016
September 20, 2016
Fun Fact: Out of the 10 commercial corridors in Jersey City, Central Avenue has the most trees. In total, The Heights neighborhood main street has 113 tree beds. The Jersey City DPW and Office of Innovation partnered together with CASID to get 8 new male Ginkgo trees planted in the shopping district last spring. Eight more will be planted later this fall bringing a total of 16 new trees by year end. In addition to requesting adjacent business owners help water the trees, CASID started an online campaign asking local residents to adopt one of the new trees and bring it water a few times a week during the evening hours. This was a community approach to care for our community trees (#TreeSpeech).
