Plant street trees along San Ysidro Boulevard's bare stretches

San Ysidro Boulevard carries border foot traffic all day under almost no shade, in a community with among the region's highest asthma burdens. Street trees in the empty parkway cuts cool the walk and put leaf area between people and the traffic. Standard: City of San Diego street tree permit program and canopy equity goal — SDG 11. Proof: Per-tree planting photos Method (City of San Diego street tree permit program and canopy equity goal — SDG 11.): 1. Confirm empty spots and approved species through the city's street-tree process. 2. Call 811 utility locate before digging. 3. Plant each tree at grade with basin and mulch, watering in deeply. 4. Photograph each planted tree with GPS and date. Done when: Per-tree planting photos

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: i-Tree canopy / street-tree inventory

Bring

• GPS phone
• DBH tape or measuring tape
• tree ID reference
• camera
• hi-vis vest

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor; record a GPS waypoint at each tree.
2. 2. Photograph each surveyed tree.
3. 3. Record species (best estimate), condition class (good/fair/poor/dead), and DBH (diameter at breast height).
4. 4. Count vacant planting sites.
5. 5. Enter the per-tree records, vacant-site count, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Dead or hazardous tree observed -> flag for the responsible agency (no removal by surveyor).
• High vacant-site count -> recommend a planting plan for the corridor.

What counts as done

• Per-tree species + condition + DBH recorded
• Vacant planting sites counted
• GPS waypoint per tree
• Photo per surveyed tree

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
