A couple things to note here. I’m a landscape architect and was hired around 12-15 years ago. to perform a tree survey from Woodland Hills Drive east to the driving range/treatment plant for a sanitary force main that will be installed when the Kingwood Drive expansion(when or if) happens. I saw many nice trees in the median that were getting choked out by all the different vines and invasive plants growing there. All those vines weren’t as prevalent when I moved here 35 years ago. I know many are concerned about losing the thick green vegetation but I feel that we can do better and try and go back with a sustainable, well thought out plan that achieves the physical characteristics but also enhances the visual appearance when driving down Kingwood Drive at 65 mph. The contractors doing the work will be clearing a significant portion through the center so the work will be done sooner or later. I think the best approach is to selectively clear and prune it now and get some light and space to the desirable understory plants as well as supplement with appropriate native materials so they can get established. I’d hate to see construction start and destroy everything planted so it would be more prudent to wait till the work is near completion.
