I did get a response from Staff about the IHT.
"The city is aware of the ponding near cherry street. The contractor has been informed and is required to fix the grading at the edge of the trail to prevent ponding on the trail."
I still have my doubts about how much edge grading can do about the flooding, without fixing the larger drainage or raising the trail. Still, it might be better than nothing, and they may have done other fixes while the trail was under construction. We will know this winter.
As for the tree, staff stated the tree was "ripped out of its planting location"...which is unfortunate, staff stated that it would be replaced.
