In 10 years, every block in the city will be tree-lined if Mayor Bloomberg has his way.
A plan to plant 1 million trees in the Big Apple will be part the massive global-warming blueprint Hizzoner unveils today.
He proposes to more than triple the tree-planting budget to $37.5 million to achieve the million-tree goal by 20017.
They would be planted along streets, and in parks and vacant lots – “every single place where it is possible to plant a street tree,” vowed Deputy Mayor Dan Doctoroff yesterday.
Bloomberg will announce the rest of his “PlaNYC: A Greener Greater New York” proposals, which will include clean air and transportation initiatives, this afternoon.
