Universal has been fined by the city of Los Angeles after trees were trimmed near the location where actors and writers have been picketing during the recent strikes.
The issue sparked controversy after several trees were cut near Lakeside Drive and Barham Boulevard, eliminating shade and protection from the sun.
He continued to point out other issues, saying StreetsLA, which handles these type of issues, is "underfunded and understaffed" so the city "can't effectively protect our trees through timely and effective services."
