For the past four decades, the City of Hollywood has been recognized as Tree City USA, meaning it has focused on improving and protecting its urban forest despite its densely populated community. As such, it is essential for all property owners to properly care for their trees to ensure a thriving, dense canopy for generations to come. If removal becomes necessary, there are  a few things you should know. Click the image below to watch the video to learn more about caring for your trees.

Project Updates

Commissioner Quintana, City Staff, and Circuit representatives coordinated with Memorial Healthcare Systems to share  information about the new Sun Shuttle service being offered in portions of Western Hollywood. Residents attending the meeting at the Boulevard Heights Community Center had the opportunity to learn about the new service, obtain assistance installing the App, and inspect one of the electric vehicles that will be used.
