General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

Thanks. I find that slightly disappointing. I prefer having greenery breaking up areas into more personal feeling spaces, rather than vast expanses of concrete/asphalt. It makes it feel more like a mini park that way too.

I'm curious if the old trees were removed just so they could put a perfect circle in, or if perhaps they were damaging the buildings. If it's the former, I wish they would have worked around the existing trees.

I agree, more greenery would be nice, but I'm sure it drives up long term maintenance costs.

That being said, we would have less need to separate spaces from roadways if we had less traffic.

I'm not an expert in trees, but on street view, they appear to be healthy, but are very close to the building.
