The tree removal carried out without the proper municipal authorization at the intersection of 1.º de Mayo and Rivadavia streets constitutes a clear violation of Ordinance No. 29.294, current regulations that protect public trees and which establish, in its article 27 and related sections, the corresponding sanctions for this type of action.
Likewise, said intervention is in contravention of the Urban and Territorial Planning Code (COUT), whose section 9.4.4 declares 1.º de Mayo street, from Entre Ríos to Colón, as a protected corridor due to its heritage value, safeguarding all of its urban components.
In this context, the Secretary of Public Services, Alejandro López, remarked that “urban trees are not only part of the city's environmental and landscape heritage. Their preservation is not only a legal obligation, but also a collective commitment to sustainable development and urban identity.”
The official also highlighted that trees in cities provide multiple benefits: they improve air quality, regulate temperature, contribute to biodiversity, and enhance public space. They also play a fundamental role in reducing urban noise, managing rainwater, and increasing real estate value.
The Secretariat of Public Services reaffirms the administration's commitment to the protection of public trees and reminds the community of the importance of respecting current regulations, in order to preserve an environmental and urban heritage that belongs to all residents.
