Alexandra & Newport

Sixty-five years in the making, a proper drainage approach. Let’s hope it eliminates the crazy network of trenches created on Alexandria every time it rains. [photo] [photo]

Newport btw M-14 & Alexandria

Numerous large city trees being cut down and mulched, according to city crews on the site, to make way for the new sidewalk along Newport. [photo 1] [photo 2] [photo 3] Put another plea into the city forestry department [to try to reclaim the wood], but no word yet. Don’t have much hope.

M-14 & Barton Drive

In the westbound lane of M-14, road workers are running out into the middle of the highway with tar to patch potholes. It’s just like playing Frogger – absolutely insane.

Catherine & Division

Seen on the northwest corner of Catherine & Division, a raccoon on the roof of a screened-in porch, hanging out and watching the traffic.

Forsythe Middle School

Someone has placed signs for Domino’s Pizza mixed in with campaign signs at the Forsythe polling location. That’s just wrong. [photo] [photo]

Newport north of Miller

Sign of a house divided – campaign signs in the front yard for both Ward 5 city council candidates, Vivienne Armentrout and Chuck Warpehoski. It’s election day! [photo]

Miller & Pomona

This morning I was dismayed at the sounds of another 150 year old 38″+ diameter Elm on Miller (100 feet from my home) being mulched. We estimate, at the minimum, this sentinel tree would yield 1,000 to 1,500 board feet of good hardwood lumber. What happened to the momentum we started two years ago to put a policy in place that would provide a mechanism to utilize such trees much better than mulch or landfill? [photo] [photo]

Arbana & Arborview

Landmark Red Elm being cut down on the corner of Arborview and Arbana right here in Tree Town USA. Much of it is being chipped into mulch. [photo]
