Shade trees at Cocoa Sunrise Terrace housing complex
Summary
Resident Audrey Grayson asked the CRA to plant shade trees and install temporary shade sails near the housing complex along Rosa L. Jones Drive to protect kids and seniors from the sun. The board likes the idea but noted the land is Housing Authority property, easements limit where trees can go, and long-term maintenance would need an agreement — so it will come back on a future agenda.

Impact analysis
Shade sails run $3,000–$10,000 each and trees aren't cheap either — any spending would need a joint agreement with the Housing Authority.
Kids and seniors at the housing complex who'd finally get some shade outdoors.
