Grow Monrovia Asks for Change of Tree Plan at New In-N-Out

Grow Monrovia is asking In-N-Out Burger to reconsider plans to remove 17 mature trees at its planned new location on Huntington Drive. They argue the trees are integral to the area’s character and ecology and propose either preserving the trees or replacing them with native, shade-providing species. The organization asks people to contact In-N-Out with their concerns at @innout on Instagram.

  1. thank you for this. if they didn't specify this at time of planning contact, who is they can they even consider such a brutal act against nature. this i so wrong at so many levels. replacing them with native trees should not be even an option, as that will take at least 10 years for another tree to provide the shade and oxygen these 17 mature trees already provide. this is an outrage... i will contact them.

  3. Can't believe Monrovia is allowing another fast food chain to take over a space where there should a quality restaurant. Very disappointed in City Hall....

  5. The exhaust generated by drive-throughs like In-N-Out and Starbucks are also a real problem. I wonder if any cities have banned drive-throughs.

    4. Love the NImby from Sierra Madre. You could always work on the lack of affordable housing Sierra Madre has.

    6. Santa Cruz does not have a complete ban on drive-thrus, but its zoning ordinances prohibit drive-throughs in specific areas, particularly in the downtown area and along Mission Street, aiming to preserve the city's character and pedestrian-friendly environment; meaning you can't find drive-thrus in these key locations within Santa Cruz.
