Public Works cut a tree down in front of our building (737 2nd St.) last summer, with no good explanation why. I was told by a person on the Public Works tree trimming crew that they damaged the tree with their equipment, and then had to cut it down. This was a 9" diameter tree, in very good condition, that was one of three planted by our home owner's association. We've repeatedly requested that the City replace it, and they've done nothing about it. So lots of luck with this. I suspect they'll just stonewall you, and hope you go away like they did us.

The two trees seem to be resprouting their branches with leaves from the crown that was left on the trees so they may make a comeback.
