Let’s Talk Shade in Our City! 🌞🌳

Okay, real talk: this city is getting way too hot in summer. Like, “stick to the sidewalk” hot. And there’s barely any shade when you’re walking around — no trees, no shelter, nothing. It’s rough for kids, older folks, and honestly, everyone who just wants to make it to the bus stop without melting.

I started this debate because I think we seriously need more shady spots around town. Trees, awnings, benches under something leafy — whatever works. Since the city’s doing this big planning thing for 2035, shouldn’t we be thinking about how to stay cool? I’d love to hear what you think — where do we need shade the most? What ideas do you have?
