Somerset Ave Sidewalk Project

I live on Somerset Ave and have two beautiful canopy trees in front of my home. These trees have been here for well over 75 years. They give my family and I protection from speeders along with shade on my house to kee us cool during the hot days of summer.
I have emailed my people from the county to save my trees from being cut down for a concrete sidewalk.
Why do you think the country will not respond to my email.
I have asked them to let me know what they have plan for these beautiful trees that produce more oxygen then their 5' concrete.
I have asked them if the y do cut them down will they take all the roots out in my front yard that goes all the way to my house. Will they replace my front yard as my property is about 4' higher than the street.
These are some of the questions I have asked and I get complete silence.
Is this how government gets to act to the citizens that not only pays their salary but for the projects that they determine is good for our community?
I tried to even get MAC involved when they invited Somerset Ave residents to join their meeting about the Somerset ave project. They had two activist one from LA another from Seattle talking from 2 hours on how they would take over Somerset and than when UT was our turn gave us 15 min to talk. I brought them 80 signatures from residents of Somerset for speed humps and a signal light by high school, the MAC response was this was not the time or place for this. I was shocked and said you sent us an invite card asking what we can do to make it safe on Somerset and now don't want to hear from Somerset residents and then my time was up. Again is this how we are treated in a civil society, when government officials have their own agenda and act like they want your view but then turn their head when you try and give it.
I wonder what my home will look like when the trees and flowers are gone and only thing left is a 5' sidewalk as speeding cars fly by.
