I find this ironic that they have to cut all the mature trees down to do this construction. Years ago, they did the same thing when they widened Main Street at the time of the opening of the Smyth Road bridge. It had been previously a beautiful shaded street.

They did the same thing when they removed the streetcars on Sunnyside. Shortly afterwards, they widened the street a few feet and cut all the mature trees down.

So, to 'improve' the street, we lose all our mature trees, and the new trees probably won't have a chance with all the snow removal and chemicals that they put on the streets today.
