As a resident of Lone Tree I enjoy the fact the governing body of the City is forward thinking and always looking to improve the City. A few years ago, Lone Tree residents voted for a tax increase in order to pay for a series of brick walls along the residential property lines along the street. This one improvement gave our neighborhoods better appeal and increased property values over neighboring areas.
