Ficus Trees

Concerning the ficus trees being removed in Westwood (June 19), I wish the same landscape designers would come and remove the ficus trees on Chatsworth Street in Granada Hills and replace them with something new. The ficus trees ruin the concrete sidewalks and, at least in Granada Hills, are trimmed to resemble anything but a tree. Shade would be a welcome addition to any business section of our city.
