No Trees Atlanta

Who cut down all the trees and why?

Does anyone know?

The trees were removed as part of a sidewalk improvement project - wider sidewalks and pedestrian bulb-outs at the corners.

Newer, healthier trees will be planted, I'm sure.

Just think of the tree removal as a return to the "good ol days" in the early part of the century when there were no street trees in those areas. It's retro!

Also, the previous trees were the notoriously fragile Bradford Pears. The ones that fall over on cars during storms. The new trees will be a sturdier breed.
