Crews Resume Tree Removal at John Muir Despite City Stop-Work Orders

Crews resumed tree removal at John Muir High School despite City-issued stop-work orders. The action is part of an escalating legal dispute between Pasadena officials and the Pasadena Unified School District over whether the work violates the City’s Tree Protection Ordinance. City officials were sent to the site and told to leave, with potential fines for continuing operations.
