"The NYC Parks Department announced on Friday a new street tree-planting initiative that will give New Yorkers more shade and less sun glare when driving."
"The plan is to reach 30% canopy coverage citywide without impacting response to diseased or damaged trees."
"According to city health data, approximately 350 New Yorkers die prematurely each summer due to heat."
"The city will prioritize these heat vulnerable neighborhoods to ensure that all areas get the new plantings by 2035."
