They need to pull a Greenville, and just plant a huge mass of trees downtown.

Such as what, be officially designated a "Tree City USA"?

Been there 20 years ago & doing it now my friend.

Since the mayors Tree Tyler inititative which started last year over 2,000 trees have been planted around the City of Tyler.

Not just little ones either, a lot of them are 8-10 feet tall.

Carry on...

In accordance with the Tyler 21 Plan, the City is announcing the launch of the Mayor’s Tree Tyler Initiative.

"Tyler is blessed with a beautiful urban forest,” said Mayor Barbara Bass. “We are a natural beauty in large part because of our urban forest. Major efforts have been made in the City of Tyler to both protect this urban forest and to add to it.”

More than 20 years ago the TREES Committee was established with a goal to reforest City parks and public spaces, to protect and preserve Tyler’s trees and to educate the public about their importance. Countless hours have been spent on tree plantings as well as working on City Ordinances to provide protection for trees. This tree initiative has evolved over the years and most recently played a major role in the City’s Tyler 21 master planning effort. Through this public process it became evident that our citizens recognize the importance and value of trees to this community. Trees provide a range of benefits including, but not limited to, an increase in property valuation, environmental affects and aesthetic impacts.

To respond to the community’s desire to save and plant trees, the City of Tyler is launching a new program to bring the spotlight on all these efforts by creating one clear goal: Tree Tyler. The Mayor’s 2015 Tree Tyler Initiative will be Mayor driven, and will establish a goal and implementation strategy to plant 5,000 trees in the next five years.

“The initiative will include tree plantings on public property, like parks and right-of-ways,” added Mayor Bass. “However, there will also be a concerted effort to encourage citizens to plant trees on their own property as well.”

It's nice to see that an effort is being made, but Tyler is still trumped by cities further east, in the tree department. Hopefully that won't be true years from now.

Tyler has a nice mixture of all tree types, not just pines. More so than most Texas cities.

Longview further east is mainly pines & boy do you see a lot of them though not nearly as many as Southeast/Deep East Texas down around Huntsville, Conroe, Nacogdoches, Lufkin, Dibol, & Livingston where you feel suffocated with pine trees.

This is what I want downtown Tyler to look more like:

I'm sure once all those planted trees mature things will start to look much better.
