There is some fencing on the opposite side of King St as well, so it may be happening there.
To my extreme disappointed, every single tree on the block has been cut down, just as they were getting to be of a reasonable size (i.e. you actually notice that they were there). I can't find any information on this construction, but if the tree cutting extends beyond this block I will be livid.
That's a big shame.
It's frustrating that given how often trees are used as a reason that we cannot do something, that they are cut down so easily.
The tree cutting and sidewalk (aka parking) replacement is continuing down the street. Looking out the window of Matter of Taste throughout this summer, seeing the reasonably sized tree in front of the City Center podium is one of the first times I thought downtown looked nice. Does anyone know how I can pursue more information about why this is happening? If it's because our sidewalk had to accommodate cars and they destroy everything they touch, I want to make my voice heard. If it's for some more understandable reason, I will shut up.
